The Cold Stares are a powerhouse rock trio hailing from Evansville, Indiana, delivering gritty, blues-soaked rock with soul and intensity. What started in 2009 as a two-man band—Chris Tapp on guitar and vocals, and Brian Mullins on drums—has grown even bigger and bolder with the 2022 addition of bassist Bryce Klueh. Together, they create a raw, electrifying sound that feels both timeless and fresh.
Drawing from deep southern blues roots and the hard-hitting edge of classic rock, The Cold Stares have built a loyal following with their honest songwriting, searing guitar riffs, and unfiltered energy. Their music doesn’t just play—it hits, telling stories of struggle, grit, and redemption.
Albums like Heavy Shoes (2021), Voices (2023), and The Southern (2024) show off their evolution while staying true to their core: heavy grooves, haunting melodies, and bluesy swagger. Their breakout track “Mojo Hand” even landed in the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077, racking up millions of streams and introducing their sound to a global audience.
The Cold Stares have taken their no-nonsense, emotionally charged rock to stages alongside acts like Larkin Poe, Rival Sons, and Grand Funk Railroad. Whether you're hearing them live or through your speakers, their music is guaranteed to leave a mark.
