The Cold Stares is a dynamic rock duo that has made a significant impact with their gritty and soulful blend of blues, rock, and Americana. Hailing from Indiana, the band consists of guitarist and vocalist Chris Tapp and drummer Brian Mullins. The duo came together with a shared passion for raw and emotive music, drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of American roots music. What sets The Cold Stares apart is their ability to capture the power and depth of a full band, despite being a two-piece, delivering a full-throttle sound that resonates with audiences across diverse musical landscapes.

With a series of compelling releases, The Cold Stares have garnered a reputation for authentic storytelling and uncompromising musicianship. Songs like "Heavy Shoes" and "Mojo Hand" showcase their deft ability to craft hard-hitting rock anthems, while tracks like "In The Night Time" reveal a more introspective side of their artistry. The live and stripped version of "Nothing But The Blues" underlines their raw live energy and their ability to connect with the audience in a stripped-down setting. With each new release, from the introspective "Just Beyond the Dawn" to the driving beats of "Come For Me," The Cold Stares demonstrate their versatility and commitment to evolving their sound, while staying true to the heart of their musical roots.
