Metalcore/screamo outfit
Stick to Your Guns formed in 2003 under the leadership of vocalist
Jesse Barnett in Orange County, CA. Drawing comparisons to such names as
Comeback Kid and
Protest the Hero, the band was soon noticed by Sumerian Records honcho
Ash Avildsen, who put the already buzz-worthy band on a live showcase. The band signed a deal with the label soon after. The band's first album,
For What It's Worth, was released in 2007, a year that
Stick to Your Guns would spend on the road, consolidating their skills and building on their early successes. Members
Barnett, Justin Rutherford, Curtis Plesche, Noah Calvin, and Casey Lagos eventually moved over to indie metal label Century Media, which released the follow-up full-length
Comes from the Heart in the spring of 2008. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
