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 commitment to explosive live performance. Formed in 2016 by Grant Pack and Mason McGeorge, the band quickly broke into underground punk, blending raw energy with 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 live as they do through speakers. The lineup was solidified in 2018 with drummer Nate Reynoso, whose impact on songwriting pushed their evolution into something sharper, louder, and more cohesive. Drawing from the legacy of Bay Area punk, 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, and social tension—reflecting real experiences while maintaining an undercurrent of resilience and unity. Known for wild, unpredictable live shows and a strict DIY ethos, Stay Out has built their reputation from the ground up—handling everything from recording to booking, merch, and promotion independently. This hands-on approach has earned them a loyal following, regional recognition, and opportunities to share stages with established punk acts nationwide. https://www.officialstayout.com
