Although Stairwell's history dates back through several line-up changes and iterations, their current quintet team is where the act's real history begins. Through numerous self-booked interstate jaunts, let alone the extensive playing in their Southern California region, Stairwell has been able to bring their alluring stage show to audiences throughout the nation. Important to note, Stairwell doesn't sound anything like their aforementioned OC-based labelmates. There's noscreaming, no crunchy guitar riffings, no double-timed kicks. But there is a constant common denominator that's shared amongst all three acts: presenting quality music via pristine recordings and captivating live shows. Of course, all this greatness doesn't come without the aforementioned debate, which occurs at nearly every twist and turn in the life of Stairwell.
