Ska/Rock from the MS coast!

About Me

Purchase 'Tequila Sunrise' Online!
The sonic explosion that is StereoHype has been captivating audiences since 2003, and there is certainly no end to that in sight. Based out of Bay St. Louis, MS (of hurricane Katrina fame) the band has a sound not usually heard from the Deep South. Their sound has become something truly original, staying away from the fads of the times, expanding on their already well established core following and gathering many new loyal fans with each and every show. Upbeat aggressive rock with a pop sensibility combined with the clean tones of ska and reggae on top of smooth, snazzy brass lines makes their sound truly genre defining, if they even could be grouped into a genre.
Members include Chase Thoms on lead vocals/guitar, Ronnie Gardner on bass/vocals, Stephen Thoms on drums, Nicholas Rohde on guitar/trumpet/vocals, Talmadge Allen on trumpet/vocals, and Elmer "Mondo" Belmonte on trombone/vocals. Don't let this six man group fool you; the sound is very tight knit with a two guitar attack seamlessly bound together by a perfectly complemented professional horn line and great vocal harmonies. StereoHype prides themselves in bringing a live show paralleled by none and at the same time keeping the music extremely tight without sacrificing the sound. Whether you see them live or hear them on recordings, you know this band is nothing but professional and they were put in life to play great music for YOU!
StereoHype's do-it-yourself hard work ethic and business sense has kept them very much in demand and always on the verge of breaking through into the industry. The band self-finances every pursuit, whether it's touring, recording, selling merchandise or whatever the case may be. The band is always first and foremost. Travel has never been an obstacle for the group, performing wherever they are in demand. They've made necessary sacrifices to make touring possible. Known to travel to states such as Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio and Texas, playing from the smallest venue to places such as the House of Blues and Hard Rock, StereoHype has no problem making themselves available within their region and beyond, bringing music to the masses. Separated for months after Hurricane Katrina, with 4 members of the band losing everything they had, the band still persevered and proved that nothing, absolutely nothing will kill their will to make music their life. Never looking back for one second, the band has charged forward establishing contacts all over the southeast and eastern U.S. making sure their presence is felt everywhere possible. StereoHype will succeed in making their music their life.
