Formed in 2000 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, The Stills emerged as a significant part of the early 21st-century post-punk revival, garnering attention with their moody, melodic sound that blends indie rock and post-punk influences. Their breakout came with the release of their debut album, "Logic Will Break Your Heart," in 2003, which included hits like "Still in Love Song" and "Changes Are No Good," establishing them as a band with a knack for crafting emotionally resonant and sonically expansive tracks. The Stills followed up their debut with "Without Feathers" in 2006, demonstrating a departure from their initial post-punk sound toward a more diverse indie rock style, illustrating the band's willingness to evolve and experiment with their music.

Continuing to build on their success, The Stills released "Oceans Will Rise" in 2008, an album that saw the band reaching new heights in terms of both songwriting and critical acclaim. The album contained anthemic tracks that cemented The Stills' place in the indie rock landscape of the 2000s. The band's live performances, including sessions for Sony Connect and NapsterLive, further showcased their ability to connect with audiences and translate their atmospheric sound to the stage. The Stills' music, characterized by poetic lyrics and a rich sonic palette, has left a lasting impact on the indie scene, despite their disbandment in 2011. Their discography remains a testament to their influence and creativity, with "Oceans Will Rise" standing as a high point of their career, capturing the essence of a band that continually sought to push the boundaries of their sound.
