Stay Gone, who hail from France, seem to be set on one main goal; to leave their hometown of Lille and play music. The band have recently released a new video for their song Suitcase Cellar which is set to appear on their upcoming EP Charades. It's clear from Suitcase Cellar that Stay Gone draw their influences from newer pop punk, something that fans of ROAM, Boston Manor and Six Time Champion will be eager to listen to. We asked guitarist Tom a few questions to get to know a but more about the band and their upcoming EP.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
We are from Lille, North of France
HOW DID STAY GONE FORM?
Stay Gone formed a little over a year ago. We all met back in 2009. Jeremy used to play guitar in a pop punk band, Yo and David played in a metalcore band and I had a pop punk band with Max. Last year, we decided to begin a pop punk band together and formed Stay Gone. We wrote our first EP in only 3 months, our goal back then was more to have fun and drink beers with friends, we didn't really take this project too seriously . Now, the band is taking another turn and we actually want to go somewhere with this band.

YOU'VE RECENTLY PUT OUT A VIDEO FOR SUITCASE CELLAR HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE VIDEO IDEA?
The project has been directed by our singer Max. For the technical aspects, we're lucky to have some good friends in the audiovisual field, they mobilized their skills for us, and we're very proud of how it came out ! We wanted something that defines us : friends, booze, pizzas, that's kinda who we are, it takes place in the nineties cause we're old ans we loved it back then aha.

SUITCASE CELLAR COMES FROM YOUR UPCOMING EP CHARADES, TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE NEW EP...
Charades will be way more aggressive than our previous EP. Guitars will be louder, heavier, vocals will be way angrier... Less pop and more punk I guess..

IF YOU COULD TOUR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?
First, we would really enjoy touring the UK. The scene is incredible over there, you guys have some of the best pop punk bands in the world in our opinion. I should even say THE best pop punk band in the world... Neck Deep! They are fucking killer right ! Then we would like to tour Eastern countries such as Poland and Austria. Germany would be a great experience! They're nice people (and they drink a lot, I'm sure we'd fit in pretty well)

IF YOU COULD PLAY WITH ANY BAND WHO WOULD IT BE?
We'd love to support Neck Deep or The Story so far someday, which are our main influences in the genre. Sharing the stage with bands such as State Champs, Roam or Real Friends would be sick as well. But really, we just want to play around and share our music, as much as we can.

WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR GUYS' FAVOURITE POP PUNK BANDS?
We love listening to modern pop punk : The Story So Far, As it is, Roam, Neck Deep or even State Champs are bands we listen to every day ! We also enjoy listening to smaller bands like Melrose or Landmarks, they're great lads and they play killer music, check them out. By the way, we're sharing the stage with them on Tuesday May 26th in Antwerp and on June 4th in Lille ! We do not only listen to pop punk tho... we love all music genres, some of our favorite bands are : Architects, Gorilla Biscuits, Agnostic Front, Mastodon, Seahaven, Jay-z, Expensive Taste and more... (I personally dig Martin Solveg's Intoxicated hahaha).
