Frontman Jesse Barnett formed the band and has worked with a whole series of musicians over the years but the classic line up of Stick To Your Guns is made up of Schmitz, Rawson, Rose and James. They released their debut album 'For What It's Worth' in 2005 with the Century Media record label. Two more albums followed this as the band began to tour the States and their fan base grew larger and larger.
Their most successful album release to date came in 2012 and was titled 'Diamond'. It achieved the chart positions of #1 on the Heetseekers chart, #11 for Hard Rock Albums and #30 on the US Rock charts. For a while it also sat atop the iTunes top 10 rock chart. It featured some of the band's most well known singles such as 'Bringing You Down (A New World Overthrow)' 'Against Them All' and 'Beyond the Sun'. Due to the successes of this release the band were invited to be part of the 2013 Warped tour.
Their anticipated follow up album titled 'Disobedient' is pencilled in for February 10 2015 release. They announced that it will feature a number of guest vocalists such Scott Vogel of Terror, Toby Morse of H2O and Walter of Rotting Out and one single has been released from this so far titled 'Nobody' which won rave reviews.
‘Awesome, you’re all awesome’ was the phrase that Jason Cameron opened with before jumping straight into the hit song Lionheart. The melodic metalcore band jumped straight into their heavy vocal style, and shouted to us in the audience ‘if you know if, let us hear it’, so everyone was singing along to the great track. They were all about getting the audience involved in the show, and kept shouting out for everyone to move to different areas of the venue, then run back to where the started. It was a lot of fun whilst singing like crazy to the music.
Dani Wonter-Bates, the lead singer was constantly improvising and adding exciting new elements to the familiar tracks. Hearing their new album, Runes, performed live was incredible. I’ve listened to it time and time again since it’s release, yet it still seemed new to hear it performed live. Each band member performed an epic and intense instrumental solo, whilst the other band members hyped up the audience, and danced around themselves on the stage. The great thing about seeing metal bands live, especially Bury Tomorrow, is that you know you’re going to get a fantastic performance, as well as great music from talented artists, and that’s definitely what this show was all about.
Awesome show, Counterparts, Stick To Your Guns were my favorite and I think I may start listening to Terror even though they opened they were really sick, sick stuff dude!
Absolute must see band! I first heard of Windwaker when seeing them open for Northlane and was immediately heavily sold. I had a lip piercing super swell up on me before the concert but Windwaker was so amazing I had to go into the pit, and luckily only got hit in the face once
Windwaker is also full of the kindest most wholesome band members. They're always someone hanging around their merch table excited to talk to their fans. Just from one concert this has become my favorite band of all time. I listen to Hyperviolence every day and my only complaint is I can't buy their merch online rn :(
Love you legends, can't wait to see them again
