Stay Out

Stay Out is a high-energy punk rock band from Oakland, California, rooted deep in the East Bay DIY scene and driven by a relentless commitment to authenticity, connection, and explosive live performance. Formed in the summer of 2016 by Grant Pack and Mason McGeorge, the band quickly established itself as a force in underground punk- blending raw, aggressive energy with undeniably catchy hooks and melodic sensibility.
Fronted by the dual-vocal attack of Pack and McGeorge, Stay Out delivers a dynamic balance of grit and charisma, pairing blistering riffs with anthemic choruses that hit just as hard in a packed venue as they do through speakers. The lineup was solidified in 2018 with the addition of drummer Nate Reynoso, whose impact on the band’s songwriting and sound helped push their evolution into something sharper, louder, and more cohesive.
Drawing from the legacy of Bay Area punk while carving out their own lane, Stay Out fuses high-octane punk rock with pop-punk accessibility, creating music that’s both chaotic and emotionally resonant. Their lyrics tap into themes of defiance, isolation, struggle, and social tension—reflecting real experiences while maintaining an undercurrent of resilience and unity.
Known for their wild, unpredictable live shows and DIY ethos, Stay Out has built their reputation from the ground up—handling everything from recording and production to booking, merch, and promotion independently. That hands-on approach has earned them a loyal following, major regional recognition, and opportunities to share stages with established punk acts while expanding their reach across the U.S. and beyond.
At its core, Stay Out is more than a band—it’s a reflection of friendship, perseverance, and the spirit of punk: loud, honest, and impossible to ignore.
