Formed in 2018, Stay For Tomorrow are an energetic four piece alternative rock band emerging from Dunfermline, Scotland. Consisting of vocalist and rhythm guitarist Joe MacFarlane, lead guitarist Nic Holson, synth-bassist/keyboardist Gemma Wickham and drummer Sean Priestley. Fans of Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters, and Velvet Revolver will appreciate SFT’s epic, fresh alt-rock sound, characterised by their unique signature style that will make you wish you had discovered them sooner.
The band burst onto the Fife music scene in 2019 with their debut single Kings and Queens. Several singles later including Rumours and Criminal, we fast forward to 2021 with the releases I Don’t Need You To Save Me, Non Applicable (Na Na) and The One. In 2022 the band released tracks Prison Living and Lipstick Lips. In 2023 they re-recorded and released their debut single Kings and Queens (2023 Version) coupled with a physical release of the album The Story So Far – a collection of all of the previously released singles! This was quickly followed by the single Always You which saw the band raise their profile and progress further with record amounts of airplay and streaming numbers! Pick Me Up was then released in November as they kicked off their third mini English tour and knocked all numbers that Always You had set out the park. This was then followed by their rock anthem Crushing Down which saw incredible radio support including being featured on ex Kerrang and Planet Rock radio host Emma Scott’s Plugginbaby show.
Stay For Tomorrow have supported major acts such as Inglorious, Massive Wagons, Who Saves The Hero? and Anchor Lane. They have also performed at iconic Scottish venues such as King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, The Mash House and PJ Molloys. In 2022 the band made their mark on the Scottish festival scene where they played Bonfest (returning in 2025) and since then have played Winterstorm, ButeFest and MontroseFest. They won the Best Music Video (Lipstick Lips) award at The Lowlands Music Awards 2023 and were nominated for Best Rock Act.
In 2023, Stay For Tomorrow embarked on their first English tours and have since toured the UK multiple times. More music and shows are on the horizon.
Watch this space, Stay For Tomorrow.
