Only Stackass Can Kill Stackass

About Me


Stackass was formed as a four piece in late 2005...
Ben met Face & Yann (a french drummer studying over seas) in the streets of NYC and invited them in a rehearsal studio to start a band and write rock songs... One month later, long time friend of Face, bassist Rogi Olsevschi joined the band to record the first demo (produced by BCM):
Stackass is born, armed with more personality than you've probably ever heard, and everything necessary for some serious rock'n roll!!!
Within just the last two years, the boys had played over 40 gigs worldwide (the biggest ones have been in Europe), earning new fans at each stop, sharing the stage with Royal Bubble Orchestra, The Green Olive, High-School Motherfuckers, Clint, The Hijackers, My Severed Pieces, Sweet Sound Of Silence, Dawnshape and many others...
This tour may have kept them away from the studio but that turned out to be a benefit. They wrote additional material on the road and tried it on stage, which is the best way to see if a song will work or not.
Stackass is currently re-tracking vocals with its new singer in France.
Recorded over the course of four months between NYC and Paris, the band debut album is offering a beautiful marriage of heaviness and melody... By combining the best elements of metal, grunge and rock'n roll, Stackass hopes to bring a fresh sound and a positive message to a scene overpopulated with replicas of existing bands!
So keep an attentive ear open for this 1st LP which is set for a winter release, and as allways, cast a watchful eye for Stackass in a town near you!
