The band burst onto the Fife music scene in 2019 with Kings and Queens and have since released a series of singles, including Rumours, Prison Living andNon Applicable (Na Na). Their 2023 compilation album, The Story So Far, featured all prior singles, followed by the breakthrough track Always You and the successful Pick Me Up, Crushing Down and Restart, which all gained significant radio play. Their most recent singles Villains and 'Breathe' have taken their sound to thrilling new heights. The tracks have gained massive attention, cementing Stay For Tomorrow’s reputation as a rising force in the alt-rock scene.
Stay For Tomorrow have shared stages with acts like Inglorious and Massive Wagons and performed at venues such as King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and festivals like Bonfest and Winterstorm.

They have also been nominated for Best Alt-Rock Act at the 2025 Radio Wigwam Awards.
"In The Way" is a relentless expression of frustration and drive, capturing the tension between ambition and resistance. This alt/rock track is fuelled by raw, pulsing rhythms and commanding vocals, creating a charged atmosphere that blends gritty guitar with vibrant synths, orchestration, and disco grooves to push the song forward.
Every line hits with precision, balancing aggression with determination. With the declaration, 'either you're in or in the way,' the song demands movement, urging listeners to make a choice: commit to the fight or step aside.
