Stay Inside is a post-hardcore / indie / emo band from Brooklyn, NY. They recorded their first full-length record, Viewing, with Jon Markson (Drug Church, Brothertiger) and released through No Sleep Records in April 2020.

After tours with The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, For Your Health, and awakebutstillinbed, they've added Matt Hull (Really From) and recorded their second LP with Brian DiMeglio (Bartees Strange, Proper.), self released on Feb 28th 2024.

"Stay Inside fuse screamo brutality with post-punk elegance, suggesting an alternate history where Interpol recorded Turn on the Bright Lights with the guy from seminal screamo band Saetia still on drums."
-Pitchfork

“Stay Inside’s sound harkens back to the late-’90s moment when emo and hardcore still shared a whole lot of DNA.”
-Stereogum

“...big, clean, soaring songs that sound like the past three decades of emo chewed up and spit back out in a way that’s familiar but fresh. They’re clearly pulling from the sounds of emo’s underground, but they play and sing like they want to be the biggest band in the world.”
-BrooklynVegan

"...one of the most intriguing, enigmatic emo bands to emerge in some time: colliding the dynamism of the genre's past with lyrical insights that are both poetic and poignant."
