Stereo Fu… Read Full Bio ↴Stereo Fuse is a post-grunge band from Dallas, Texas, USA.
Stereo Fuse was formed in 2000 after guitarist Jeff Quay and drummer Chad Jenkins were forced to disband their previous group. The two left their former lead singer after a show in Atlanta in 2000, when the anonymous frontman told a particularly offensive joke and the band was asked to leave the stage.
Discovering singer-songwriter in Dallas, the musicians formed Stereo Fuse and began writing and recording songs. In 2002, their cover of Material Issue's "Everything" became a most-requested song in the South and Midwest, and went on to become a top-10 music video.

You're not the only girl in this world that I've ever known
You're not the only one to play these foolish games
You're not the only one to ever feel ashamed

Everybody says I love you
Hey hey you what ya tryin' to do
