"Equal Vision furnished my generation with so many terrific bands, like Coheed and Cambria, who - on top of being progenitors of our genre - also write impactful music. With Stolas, I feel that same potential to connect with people in a lasting way, and Equal Vision exclusively deals in that kind of band," shares bassist RJ Reynolds. Guitarist Sergio Medina adds, "I have always wanted to work with Equal Vision in some capacity. Since high school, it's been a goal of mine. Based on our style of music, and Equal Vision's alumni being so musically versatile, I just feel it's a good home for us." Stolas is comprised of Carlo Marquez (lead vocals/drums), RJ Reynolds (bass), and Sergio Medina (guitar/vocals). The band will also feature additional live performance/touring members at the upcoming shows.
