The Stereo is a pop-rock and roll ensemble that came together in early 1999, founded by former lead vocalists Jamie Woolford (previously of Animal Chin) and Rory Phillips (formerly with The Impossibles). Their label, Fueled By Ramen, played a key role in uniting the two. The band's first album, Three Hundred, debuted in the summer of 1999.
Over the course of their existence, the group underwent multiple personnel shifts, with Woolford remaining the consistent principal songwriter. The Stereo officially ended their run in early 2004. Following this, Woolford and bassist Chris Serafini went on to establish Let Go.
In 2009, Alternative Press recognized Three Hundred as one of the '10 most influential albums from 1999 that shaped Punk today'. The band reunited in 2011, featuring original members Phillips and Woolford, to perform at Fueled By Ramen's 15th anniversary event held at Terminal 5 in New York City. Later, they appeared at 350 Fest 3 in Tinley Park, Illinois, on August 19, 2017.
On February 9, 2022, The Stereo initiated a Kickstarter campaign aimed at financing their new album titled Thirteen, along with a related podcast series; remarkably, they achieved their funding goal within just 20 minutes. The lead single from this upcoming release, "Kings Of No Hope," was made available on February 18.
