STAGES AND STEREOS

Following a brief hiatus in 2010, Stages and Stereos saw band members Daniel Lancaster and Ian Edge take completely different paths. Daniel continued to build upon his reputation of being a compelling vocal talent, and Ian enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic. Ian was deployed to Afghanistan in March of 2011 and Daniel pressed forward in the music industry playing in the bands “Select Start” and “The Weathers”. Three months into Ian’s deployment, he was critically injured by an enemy improvised explosive device. Upon Ian’s homecoming in early 2012, Daniel was quick to visit and the two began talk of reforming Stages and Stereos. Their passion for playing music was only overshadowed by their passion to do so together. Donnie Webb and Zach Schweizer of Jacksonville, Florida band “The Sophomore Attempt” were quickly recruited, alongside longtime friend of Daniel and Ian, Austin Moore. Daniel resumed his front man status in Stages and Stereos, and Ian returned to bass. Donnie filled the drummer position with Zach and Austin rounding out the lineup on guitar. Though this Tallahassee, Florida based band was formed in 2007, their quest to leave an everlasting mark upon the music industry has only just begun.
