Short Bio

Between empty cans, tangled cables, and amps pushed way past reasonable volume, STAY BOUND came to life.

Hailing from Wiener Neustadt, the young alt-rock band blends gritty grunge textures with explosive modern energy, determined to leave their mark on the scene.

What started as a noise complaint slowly evolved into something undeniable: a sound that feels like sweat-soaked rehearsal rooms, Tuesday-night crowdsurfing, and decisions you’ll probably regret the next morning.

STAY BOUND - young, hungry, and definitely not here to be quiet.

long bio

Born out of loud rehearsals and a shared obsession with the raw spirit of 90s rock, STAY BOUND emerged from Wiener Neustadt with one clear intention: make alternative rock feel dangerous again.

Blending gritty grunge textures with explosive modern energy, the four-piece channels the unfiltered honesty of the 90s scene into a sound that feels both nostalgic and immediate. Their music is built on driving rhythm guitars, sharp lead lines, melodic yet aggressive bass work, and hard-hitting drums, all carried by vocals that move between vulnerability and urgency.

The band consists of Fabian Feiel (vocals, rhythm guitar), Lawrence Hildebrand (lead guitar), Matthias Leitner (bass), and Emanuel Kienzl (drums). Together, they craft songs that balance raw emotion with punchy dynamics, equally at home in sweat-soaked rehearsal rooms and on loud club stages.

What began as noise complaints quickly evolved into a focused pursuit: writing songs that capture the chaos, tension, and release that defined a generation of alternative rock, while pushing it forward for a new one.

STAY BOUND is young, hungry, and not here to be background music.
