The four-piece group – comprising of vocalist and rhythm guitarist Joe Mitchell, lead guitarist Mike Anderson, bassist Steve Harding, and drummer Phil Simmons – all met in high school and shared a mutual love for music. Their bond was solidified in the school’s music room, where they would jam after hours, experimenting with different sounds and harmonies. A few years down the line, with a handful of gigs under their belt and a strong local fan base, Male Stick is set to take their musical journey to the next level.

Genre:
Their sound can best be described as Indie Rock with a touch of Blues.

Title:
“Long Way Home”

Full Song Lyrics:

(VERSE) C – G – Am – F
C G
Driving down the road, I’m all alone
Am F
Thinking ’bout the days, we used to own
C G
The laughter in the air, the summer breeze
Am F
Wishing you were here, it’s you I need

(CHORUS) G – Am – F – C
G Am
It’s a long, long way home
F C
Without you by my side, I feel so alone
G Am
The stars above, they don’t shine as bright
F C
Without you by my side, it just doesn’t feel right

(REPEAT VERSE AND CHORUS)

Fan Testimonial:
My name is Sarah, and I am, without a doubt, Male Stick’s number one fan. Their music resonates with me on a soulful level. The poignant lyrics, the raw emotion in the vocals, the mesmerizing guitar riffs – everything about their music strikes a chord with me. The song “Long Way Home,” in particular, helped me through a tough breakup. It was like they understood exactly what I was going through, and their music gave me comfort. Male Stick isn’t just my favorite band because they make great music; they’re my favorite because their music makes me feel seen, understood, and less alone in the world.
