With influences ranging from Rage Against the Machine, Muse, and Incubus to Led Zeppelin and The Doors, OPEN AIR STEREO has managed to take these influences and use them to create a hard-hitting, unique, and compelling sound followed by a captivating live show. Hitting venues multiple times such as The Galaxy Theatre, The Coach House, The Roxy Theatre, Chain Reaction, and KROQ's Weenie Roast 2005, ended up bringing them to the 2004 and 2005 Orange County Music Awards where they were honored to be placed in the top 12 high school bands in Orange County. OPEN AIR STEREO was nominated top five for Best Indie Rock Group in 2004, and in 2005, were nominated for Best Rock Group.
Their first self titled EP, released in April of 2005, began in August 2004 with producer matt Beckley of T.E.A. and engineer Greg Burns (American Idiot, Clapton). "It was something the band was all super excited about," says drummer Nick Gross. "It was our first CD and we're proud of it. It was an accomplishment for us from playing out of 12 inch high amps to having a fully produced album. We love all the songs to death and always will, but this year we're ready to move on. It's 2006 and we're starting fresh." And moving on is exactly what OPEN AIR STEREO is doing. Currently working on their 2nd debut CD with Beckley and other producers, which OAS now describes as..."Just plain kick ass", as well as finishing up filming for the third season of MTV's reality hit show "Laguna Beach: The Real OC", the boys are now busier than ever.
"I know we're all excited for the future and for this year. Its going to be a great year for us and we're ready to hit things full speed. We're not beating around the bush. We're getting ready to hit the world with a boom. It's OAS."
Stuck On You

that beat
down 6th street
We used to rock down
till we couldn't feel our feet
We used to love
so hard
that we'd fall to the ground
I used to love the way
you'd say my name
I used to love the way
that you'd play me
with your games
Keep it cool
Keep it hot
Why we gotta change?
Cuz we got nothing to prove
You and I we'll always
get through
One and one it always makes two
You got me stuck on you
Stuck on you
Cuz we got nothing to prove
You and I we'll always
get through
One and one it always makes two
You got me stuck on you
Stuck on you
Stuck on you
How did somethin' so dope
slip through the cracks?
Turn our backs
for just a minute
and we're off the tracks.
All pride aside
You're my queen and
here's your crown
Girl, I need you around
Who would've thought
I'd be the one to fall?
But girl, you gave me
some lovin'
Now I'm the fool
who wants it all
Let's keep it cool
Keep it hot
Why we gotta change?
Cuz we got nothing to prove
You and I we'll always
get through
One and one it always makes two
You got me stuck on you
Stuck on you
Cuz we got nothing to prove
You and I we'll always
get through
One and one it always makes two
You got me stuck on you
Stuck on you
Stuck on you
Tell me how
you want it
Lay it all on me
all on me
Forget about the past
It's only you and me
you and me
Cuz we got nothing to prove
You and I we'll always
get through
One and one it always makes two
You got me stuck on you
Stuck on you
Cuz we got nothing to prove
You and I we'll always
get through
One and one it always makes two
You got me stuck on you
Stuck on you
Stuck on you
Love the way you say my name
The lyrics to "Stuck on You" by Open Air Stereo describe a relationship filled with nostalgia and intense feelings. The song begins by reminiscing about the past, when the couple used to go out and have fun, getting lost in the music and love for each other. However, now something has changed, and the relationship seems stuck. The lyrics suggest that they have hit a rough patch, perhaps because they have lost their sense of purpose or direction.
Despite the difficulties they are facing, the singer affirms that they have nothing to prove to anyone else but themselves. The two of them are the only ones who truly know and understand their relationship, and they are willing to work through their problems. The lyrics convey a sense of hope and resilience, that the couple will get through anything as long as they remain united.
One interesting aspect of the song is the recurring motif of keeping it cool and keeping it hot. This line suggests that the couple needs to strike a balance between being relaxed and keeping things exciting. The lyrics also hint at a sense of insecurity and vulnerability, as the singer admits to being the one who fell in love first, and now feels like a fool.
Overall, "Stuck on You" is a song about the ups and downs of a relationship, but also about the deep bond that exists between two people who truly love each other.
