The Stayawakes

**The Stayawakes** are a Liverpool-based indie pop-punk duo serving up fizzy hooks and nostalgic vibes since forming in 2014. Fronted by Laura Kidd (vocals/bass) and Stephen Campbell (guitar/vocals), the pair blend crunchy power-pop riffs, witty lyrics, and infectious harmonies that nod to '90s alt-rock while staying firmly rooted in modern DIY energy. Their catalog—packed with earworms like "Power Pop Massacre" and "Back In '94"—revels in themes of love, existential panic, and pop-culture obsessions, delivered with wry British charm. Whether they’re cranking out holiday cheer ("Let's Stayawake This Christmas Eve") or hyper-catchy breakup anthems ("Lovestruck"), The Stayawakes keep things fun, fast, and unapologetically melodic.
