Series Finale
The Stereo return to Europe, this time with a completely different line-up. The first trek across the Atlantic had ultimately led to Jamie firing all the other members and rebuilding the band from scratch, and this was a chance to rewrite some of that painful history. Unfortunately, new obstacles would replace the old ones, and the band would find itself coming to terms with unexpected chaos and gut wrenching decisions. Decisions that, despite being designed to shore up the band’s foundation, could only delay its inevitable collapse.

Episode Four: Pay No Attention
After its most significant lineup change to date, The Stereo were now ready to move on and release new music with bassist Chris Serafini and drummer BJ Wuollet. The title of their next record - Rewind + Record - was a not particularly subtle allusion to the idea of starting over. The last time The Stereo made an album, Jamie ended up releasing a record he couldn’t even listen to. This was a chance to erase that past, go back to the beginning, and get it right.
