Formed during the tumultuous pandemic, The Stews have continually refined their already impressive songwriting skills. They’ve opened for beloved groups like flipturn and The Black Crowes and showcased their electrifying live performance prowess at renowned festivals such as Hangout Fest and River Rocks. Keeping up their relentless momentum, they now embark on extensive, high-energy summer and fall tours, releasing their eagerly anticipated second full-length album, “Chicken Fight”.

This 11-track project offers expansive musical soundscapes with enigmatic production and relentless percussion, starting with the explosive opening title track, “Chicken Fight”, and culminating in slow-burning, headbanging anthem, “Fade Away”. The album is dynamic, seamlessly navigating between intense, fiery rock and laid-back, vibey indie vibes. The vocal delivery is diverse and expansive, while the production and instrumental arrangements are maximalist, multi-layered, and irresistibly infectious. The result is an album packed with captivating tracks that will enthral listeners throughout their tour.

Speaking on their latest project and its expansive track list, the group says “Our 2nd full length album, “Chicken Fight” truly encapsulates the diversity that we have built over the last 3 years of non-stop touring and writing songs. With songs ranging from sludgy, hard-rock numbers like the single “Buried Alive” and the title track “Chicken Fight”, to stripped back acoustics on “So Much More to You”, this album has allowed us to appreciate and fully take advantage of our ability to diverge from previous sounds and keep listeners excited. It has also allowed us to grow as musicians and songwriters, keeping us eager to see where our next sonic leap will take us. Listeners will find lyrical themes of love and loss, hope, confusion and frustration in the state of the world, and a search for inner peace.”
