About Me:
Formed while its members were still in high school, the high-energy pop/rock two-piece experienced several changes before settling with its current lineup. "We were just having fun," lead singer Kevin Bard explains "We weren't very serious about it, but when we decided we wanted to do it for a living, people who didn't want to left, and whoever was serious stayed."
The band released their self-titled EP in 2008, but Stereo Skyline says they've completely changed as a band.
"I think as we've gotten more mature with writing music, we've realized that a good song is a good song," Bard adds. "It doesn't have to be something crazy different. Good pop is one of the rarest things you can find, and I think that's what we're all aiming for."
To enhance the band's pop instincts, the group worked with a variety of songwriters and producers on Stuck On Repeat, including S*A*M and Sluggo, Metro Station's Blake Healy and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger. Recorded in both New York City and Los Angeles, the album is a compilation of collaborations, which as the title denotes, get stuck on repeat in your head.
The album title is also a lyric from the band's first single, "Tongue Tied" (co-written by Healy), which is about a guy who's apprehensive about talking to a girl he sees from afar. "The scenario has probably happened to every single person in the world," Bard says. "They see somebody and are like [gasp], but they don't actually go over but they wish they did." The band also gets a little help on the single from their friend Cassadee Pope, lead singer of Hey Monday. Although audiences won't hear her sing, the 20-year-old does lend her voice to a part of "Tongue Tied" that involves a phone call between a guy and a girl.
One of the best examples of Stereo Skyline's innate pop sensibility is their song "Heartbeat," which was released on their self-titled EP and re-recorded for Stuck On Repeat. The song was written by Bard when he was just 15 years old, at an age when he humbly says the band "didn't know how to make pop music, or any music rather." However, the infectious single remains Stereo Skyline's most recognizable song and fan favorite.
Although Stereo Skyline is poised for greatness, the band has modest goals. "We want to take over the world," drummer Rob Michelsen teases. "Actually, a personal goal of mine is to hear myself on the radio, so hopefully some of these songs can make that happen for us." The drummer adds "It was a long road to get us to this point, to release our first record, but I think it was necessary, and now we're actually ready for it."

Kayy, I'm not hating. Honestly I'm not. That's low. But they did kinda steal One Direction's song. Just the beat of it, and like I know they don't say the exact words but I mean I've heard the whole song by SS and it's cool. I'm not going to say that I don't think it is, but I mean it's like exactly the same as 1D's. Sorry, just my opinion. No hatee. Just stating the factss. :)
