Montreal, Canada (2000 – present)
This Montreal, Quebec CANADA, Alternative-Rock band consisting of Tim Fletcher, Dave Hamelin, Oliver Crowe, Julien Blais and Liam O’Neil started making waves in 2000, in their hometown, but it was in New York City that the guys found a record deal with Vice Recordings and in June 2003 they offered up a 4-track EP entitled “Rememberese”.
Thanks to a successful series of shows with bands such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol, The Stills became one of the most talked about up-and-coming outfits, then headed into the studio to work on their debut full-length CD… , “Logic Will Break Your Heart”, which was released in October 2003; it reached the top 40 of the U.S. Independent Albums chart on the back of the alt-Rock radio minor hits “Lola Stars And Stripes” and “Still In Love Song”.
Before the band went into the studio to record their second album original guitarist, Greg Pacquet left the group; keyboard player Liam O’Neil joined as a full-time member, former drummer Dave Hamelin started filling in duties on guitar and a new drummer, Julien Blais , has been brought in to fill the gap. Preceded by the single “In The Beginning”, the band’s sophomore effort, “Without Feathers”, was released in May 2006, it peaked at #18 on the Billboard’s Top Independent Albums list.
In late 2007, Arts & Crafts signed the band to a worldwide recording deal and in August 2008 The Stills released its third studio album “Oceans Will Rise”; “Being Here” the anthemic lead single, became the band’s best performing radio single to date climbing into the top 20 of the Canadian Rock chart.

They possibly went wrong when trying to become a 70s/80s-influenced rock band (at least that's how they presented themselves on their website, whoever was behind that idea), although I never truly heard it in Without Feathers except perhaps on In the Beginning. The last two albums are still solid ones but LWBYH seemed to have a whole post-apocalypic/miserable feel to it that was consistent. I reckon that it's the attempted collaboration between Tim and Dave's ideas 'that is behind this lack of consistency in the albums.

@prettynuclear - What riffs would those be then, I'm not hearing anything that can be even remotely described as 'cheesy' on LWBYH.

Love both Logic and Oceans though I think Oceans wins out for Snakecharming, Hands on Fire, etc. But try as I may I still can't get into WF. :/ I think I just like TIm's songs better (and his vocals)...

Logic Will Break Your Heart has truly stood the test of time, it just gets better and better with each listen. I like the other two a lot, don't get me wrong, but that debut is amazing.

I don't miss the Logic days. Their last album was great, and those failing to notice that are just too busy wishing it was 2003, I guess...
