The Stews is an explosive American rock band that emerged from Auburn, Alabama, in the fall of 2020, quickly establishing themselves as a powerful force in the modern music scene with a sound that boldly fuses elements of hard rock, alternative, and indie rock. Comprised of Preston Hall (lead vocals, guitar), Blake Dobbs (rhythm guitar), Bennett Baugus (bass), and Wyatt Griffith (drums), the band initially gained notoriety in the college circuit before their electrifying, often sweaty live shows created such massive demand that the members ultimately left school to tour full-time. Their music, which draws diverse influences from 70s rock legends like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, is characterized by a high-energy mix of upbeat, sing-along indie tunes and downright headbanging hard rock, successfully demonstrated across their 2022 debut album, What Was, and their latest 2024 album, Chicken Fight.
