Heavily influenced by the Orange County hardcore scene, their music, message, style, and sound can perhaps be compared to bands like Bleeding Through and Throwdown. The band's lyrics address subjects ranging from self-reflection to political and social statements. Stick to Your Guns identifies with the straight edge subculture and George Schmitz once described it as "a secret straight edge band" because they have focused on several other topics throughout their career rather than only this movement. Currently they are signed to Pure Noise Records and have released six full-length albums & three EPs to date.

Current members:

Jesse Barnett – lead vocals, programming, guitars (since 2003)
Josh James – guitars, backing vocals (since 2012)
Chris Rawson – guitars, backing vocals (since 2009)
Andrew Rose – bass, backing vocals (since 2003)
George Schmitz – drums, percussion (since 2008)

For What It's Worth
Stick to Your Guns Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The best has yet to come.. all damage has been done and we have just begun to see what we've become.. and I cant help but see a need to turn this all around.. and lift ourselves up from the ground.. because for what its worth we can not go unsound.. and for far to long we've we been fighting more than singing along.. let a new dawn arise let open our eyes.. to something new a new born youth an untold truth there's no excuse for us use to explain out self abuse.. we have so much more to give.. we are the alternative and our voices will rise in unison.. we have yet to begin and we cant let ourselves wear thin and for what its worth our resolve will not see its end
