After meeting disBAND Guru Greig Nori, Stand By Me was advised to change their name due to copyright issues. Turn It Up was chosen. Later, in order to perform several shows in Toronto, Ontario, Universal Music Canada A&R rep Mark Spicoluk advised the band to change their name again, and the band chose the name Stereos. After receiving the thumbs up from the judges from disBand, Stereos went to a large gig to receive a contract from the President of Universal Music Canada and judged by Kiss member Gene Simmons. The band released their self-titled debut album Stereos on October 20, 2009 and was certified gold by the CRIA in January 2010 with sales of over 40,000 copies.
In March 2010, the band received two Juno Award nominations which were for Best New Artist, and Best Pop Album. They released two other singles that charted moderately, "Turn It Up" peaked at #31, and "Butterflies" at #51. The song "She Only Likes Me When She's Drunk" failed to chart.
Stereos' second album, titled "Uncontrollable" was released on December 14, 2010. The first single from the album, "Uncontrollable" was released on October 25, 2010 and peaked at #42 on the Canadian Hot 100. The second single, "Body Move" was released in February 2011, just before their cross Canada tour. In mid April the band's drummer, Aaron, sustained a broken hand, leaving him unable to perform, causing the band to cancel their remaining shows.
On March 10, 2019, Stereos announced a 10-year reunion show to take place on May 11, 2019, at Toronto's Rec Room during Canadian Music Week on their Facebook page, which ended up selling out. A second 10-year reunion show in the band's hometown of Edmonton took place on August 16, 2019 and also sold out. On October 20, 2019, the band announced they were officially back in the studio recording new material.

Stereos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah my heart is like warm sunshine
I got your sunlight beating down on me,
From the corner of your perfect smile.
So if you feel like your love ain't strong enough
I could the one to steer it up.
Like a beat I'll drop and knock it up
My heart turned upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
I could never stand back
And let you feel lonely, lonely, lonely
And if you're ever feeling down I can be beside you,
Put your trust on me
So if you feel like your love ain't strong enough
I could the one to steer it up.
Like a beat I'll drop and knock it up
'Cause when I saw you I knew.
My heart turned upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Hey cupid come along wash away all the rain.
Put the sunlight and love in her heart just for me.

'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
