stargazy pie
Bringing back the guitar solo and the power ballad, Stargazy Pie isn’t afraid to experiment with new and old sounds alike. Call it whatever you like: shred pop, power pop, or hard rock. No matter what, Stargazy Pie will shred, blast beat, and belt their way into your heart.
Since their formation in 2019, Stargazy Pie has been performing their energetic shred pop all over the Pacific Northwest. They got their start in Ted Brown Tacoma’s ‘Live it OutLoud’ program, which put together bands of young musicians and had them perform and write original music. They won multiple awards in the program, including Best Original Song both years they participated. The band released their first full-length album, ‘Butterfly Hand Grenade,’ in 2021, with the help of Regan Lane and the band Strangely Alright. They were finalists in the 2021 ShoreLake Battle of the Bands and won the People’s Choice Award in the 2022 ShoreLake Battle of the Bands. They also performed in MoPoPs SoundOff! showcase in 2023 and More Music at the Moore in 2024. Their sophomore album, Pacific Northwestitis, was released on April 27th, 2024!
our newest album!
Pacific Northwestitis is an album chock-full of pop-punk hooks and heavy guitar riffs. It’s an album all about circumstances – particularly ones you wish you could change. Stuff like failing relationships, friends moving away, and being stuck in a state that everyone just seems to hate! Aided by tongue-in-cheek lyricism and blast beats, Pacific Northwestitis challenges the very idea of discontent. If we finally got what we wanted, would we really be happier? Or is learning to live with the rainy days the only way we can truly grow?
“What they do is a little Over The Top, somewhere between Queen and Foxy Shazam, with the shredding like a poppier Muse. Yet they have enough to stay in touch with Power Pop and Pop Punk. The album’s sheer audacity really grabs you, as does the urgency.“
– I Don’t Hear A Single –

I’M SO SCREWED
PEOPLE SUCK
People Suck is ultimately a song about giving yourself and others grace, cause we all make mistakes sometimes!
Butterfly hand grenade
Stargazy Pie’s debut album released in 2021
“Pretty Great is an apt description for this delightful album. Butterfly Hand Grenade is a solid work, and a very impressive debut for this remarkably talented young band.”

Band Members
If the four guys in Stargazy Pie hadn’t run into each other in 2018, they’d be in four wildly different bands by now. One would be tearing up the coffee shop circuit, one would be arguing with police about noise ordinances, one would be discussing cape options with his prog band, and one would be doubling his jazz guitar solos on clarinet. But the four of them share a love of great songwriting, and they bring all of these influences together in an energetic power-pop band.
