Leave Your Mark
album by Stars in Stereo
Leave Your Mark is the second and final studio album by the alternative rock band Stars in Stereo, released on June 7, 2014. It had Ryan "Frogs" McCormack on bass guitar instead of Justin Siegel, who left in 2013 to pursue other interests. The album contained 11 new songs self-produced by the band's own indie record label, Hundred Handed Inc. and included the singles "Leave Your Mark" and "Fair-Weather Friend". The album received mixed but generally positive reviews and even had some minor rock music Billboard success, proving to be marginally more successful than their previous album.
Background
Leave Your Mark was recorded during the first quarter of 2014 and officially released on June 7 the same year, but live video recordings of individual songs were released every day leading up to the official release through a "Virtual Tour" project created by the band. Starting on June 10, the band released a live video recording of a different song every day on a different website. Each video contained a hidden tarot card somewhere that linked fans to a winners' page upon clicking. The first ten fans to click the tarot card and follow the link received their choice of prize offered by the band, such as band T-shirts, logo necklaces or the album as a CD or a vinyl. Leave Your Mark, like the band's previous album, contained music best described as alternative rock with pop music influences, but was definitely more hard rock driven and energetic than Stars in Stereo's previous offering.
