Formed in Kfar Saba, Israel by blood-bonded childhood friends, Stash aims to create a powerful sound of a thunderstorm with harmonies from another planet, a rolling groove that will keep you headbanging and moshing all night long and while it’s unique and innovative it’s still respects the old discipline.
Stash’s debut album »Through Rose Coloured Glasses« dropped on September 27th, 2022. It was mixed and mastered by Chris Fielding. In May 2023, the band released »The Rojo Tapes« with new versions of the tracks from »Through Rose Coloured Glasses«.
Stash are Guilad Piñevsky (vocals), Asaf Interator (guitars), Or Merkazy (bass) and Adrian Shaingurten (drums).
Can you say a few words about your band?
We’re Stash, a band of childhood friends from Kfar Saba, Israel. I’ll describe our music as a very diverse blend of influences from the heavy music realm.
What was the biggest challenge for the band last year?
I think the biggest challenge this year for us was and still is is to get back to normal life, making music and touring again after the vicious attack perpetrated by the Hamas terror organization on the 7.10. and the war that started right after.
What can you be most proud of last year?
Starting the new album writing sessions. The new songs are coming together really well, sound really good and I think will surprise people.
What was your biggest regret?
We didn’t have any regrets last year.
What was the best concert/tour last year and why?
It’s really hard to name just one show from this crazy year, maybe supporting Death Before Dishonor at their show in Tel Aviv, maybe the rave show in the forest with a few other bands from the scene… it was fucking amazing, really hallucinatory!
What was the biggest surprise on the music scene for you?
I don’t think surprise is the right word for it, but finding out that Yotam Haim, the drummer of the band Persephore, is kidnapped and held in Gaza by the Hamas terror organization and he’s still there for over 80 days is shocking.
Where can we see you live this year (concerts/tours)?
We’re gonna start up our giggs in January next year in Tel Aviv and Haifa, you’ll be able to catch us all around Israel, and maybe we’ll even get to Europe this year…
What are your plans for this year as a band? What do you personally want the most?
Our plans for this year is to continue writing the new album, performing, and most importantly… asado (barbecue) with the band, beer and fun!
How can people best support your band?
There’s a lot of ways you can support our band from free things like streaming our music, sharing our music with your friends or just following and engaging with us on social media to more pricey things like going to our shows and buying merch (possible from us directly or from our Bandcamp page), everything helps.
Do you have any message for your listeners?
We want to thank everyone who supported us in any way, hopefully we can surprise you with new stuff this year.
