About Me

Stabbingback is a dual-genre band from Seattle. With each album release being in tandem, one will be an agressive metal, and the other an acoustic rock style. On one hand, Stabbingback blends a classic metal style with melodically driven vocals and a powerful modern edge to form a unique sound. The music is very personal, pained and full of anger. This raw sound aims to start a fire one’s soul and mind. On the other hand, the acoustic music is, by it’s very nature, less abrasive than the metal. Although not as in-your-face, Stabbingback’s acoustic material is every bit as emotional and intense. All the songs are originally written for this style, and are not "unplugged" versions of the metal music.
Founder and songwriter Gage Sifuentes (Vocals/Lead Guitar) formed Stabbingback in 2005. The band got off to a less than auspicious beginning but emerged through difficult times to create a formidable lineup. With the arrival of bassist Jay Barrett in late 2005, a solid foundation was layed down. Guitarist Brandon Lupov helped to build upon that foundation and brought in drummer Ben Gregory. In early 2008 Stabbingback & Brandon parted ways, and newcomer Paul Wolfe stepped in to take the lead guitar spot. Each member is a strong musician in his own right, and with that individual strength they bring a collective confidence to the band and the music they make.
