Emerging in 2022 from Chicago, The STEM Lords blends rock, indie rock, alternative rock, grunge and hard rock into a genre-defying sound. TSL traded coding using our STEM degrees—to become rockers. Come see what happens when school meets rock cool.  

The album, often referred to as "The Blue Album", was released July 25, 1995. The album contained three successful singles, "Don't Stay Home", "All Mixed Up", and "Down", resulting in the band's mainstream breakthrough. It has been certified triple platinum with sales over three million albums. The album, unlike the first two, was recorded live, with no instrumental over-dubs. This album is home to some of their most relaxed music ("Purpose") and also some of their hardest-hitting ("Hive", "Brodels"). It is also the first album to not feature heavy slap bass, with the only appearance being in a small segment of "Misdirected Hostility". (performed by 312)
