Stay The Course Drop “Pocket Sand” Single

The latest single from Kansas City’s Stay The Course might just be their most ambitious to date, and it pays off in spades. Pocket Sand is dynamic in every sense of the word, shifting from chunky melodic hooks, to a bridge that includes a cello and an absolutely visceral vocal breakdown. Pocket Sand is taken from the band’s upcoming EP, Red Flag, that will be released on the 12th December via Punkerton Records.

“‘Pocket Sand’ is hands down my favorite to play live. The driving verses and big choruses get me hyped every time. The bridge slows things down with intricate cymbal work and this beautiful interplay of bass and cello (thanks to my wife, Kylie) over calm guitar picking. It gives you a chance to breathe before slamming into an ending that just kicks your teeth in. It’s a musical journey from start to finish.” (vocalist Joseph Meador)
