Emerging from Dunfermline in 2018, Stay For Tomorrow has been making waves across the music industry, drawing inspiration from iconic bands like Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters, and Velvet Revolver. The group consists of the dynamic quartet of Joe MacFarlane (vocals/rhythm guitar), Nic Holson (lead guitar/backing vocals), Gemma Wickham (synth-bass/keys), and Sean Priestley (drums).
“In The Way” embodies a raw energy and exemplifies their evolution in sound—a sonic tapestry woven with pulsing alt-rock rhythms, commanding vocals, and a charged atmosphere. From gritty guitar riffs to vibrant orchestration and disco grooves, every moment is designed to both challenge and invite listeners on a musical journey. The track perfectly balances aggression with relentless determination. Its core message, ‘either you’re in or in the way,’ demands commitment, urging audiences to either join the fight or step aside.
Recording at Gracenote Studios with Dominic Hardy has allowed Stay For Tomorrow to amplify their authentic sound, capturing the spirit of their live performances and turning it into a recorded triumph. Their lyrics echo the themes of ambition and resistance, connecting deeply with fans who find themselves at similar crossroads in life.
“In The Way” is not just another single; it’s a bold statement that resonates with today’s listeners. Fans of Fall Out Boy, Ghost, and The Rasmus will find familiar comfort and exhilarating newness in Stay For Tomorrow’s music. The band has built an impressive resume, sharing stages with musical powerhouses like Inglorious and Massive Wagons, and captivating audiences at venues and festivals, including the legendary King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.
Stay For Tomorrow continues to grow their impact, following their celebrated album “The Story So Far” and a string of successful singles including “Always You” and “Pick Me Up, Crushing Down”. Their powerful music video for “Lipstick Lips” speaks volumes of their creative mastery, recognized at the Lowlands Music Awards.
“In The Way” not only represents their musical journey but cements their place as rising alt-rock stars ready to stake their claim worldwide. The single’s release will be accessible across all streaming platforms, inviting a global audience to be in, not in the way, of this thrilling experience.
