Stephen Styles Changes Things Up With 'Whiskey And Vinyl'
(Brickshore Media) With his current radio single Bar By Now climbing the Music Row Country Charts, California country rocker Stephen Styles takes a more vulnerable turn with his latest digital release, Whiskey And Vinyl. This song is now available on all digital streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and more.
Solely written by Stephen, the track pulls back the curtain on the kind of late-night moments that don't make it into highlight reels - when the room is quiet, the weight of the world feels heavy, and the only thing that truly understands you is music.
"There's something different about vinyl - it's raw, imperfect, and real - and that's how emotions are too," says Stephen. "For me, this song represents using music as a way to survive hard moments. It's about heartbreak, reflection, and finding some peace in the pain. The song pays tribute to the artists who helped me through my own difficult times and I'm now hoping to be that voice for someone else."
Built on his signature blend of classic country grit and Southern rock edge known as "Zero to Hillbilly," Whiskey And Vinyl leans into emotional honesty while maintaining the authenticity fans have come to expect. Released by Plow House Records, the track highlights a different side of Styles, one with more therapeutic confession. "For me, music is my therapy. I hope listeners feel like they're not alone in whatever they're going through. Everybody has those nights where the world feels heavy and you're just trying to make sense of it all. Sometimes music is the only thing that understands what you're going through, whether it's healing, reminiscing, or just getting through the night."
His current radio hit, Bar By Now, has gained strong momentum across independent and regional markets and has an impressive track record to date. This release is officially charting on the Music Row Country Breakout Chart, was in the Top 10 most added song by country radio, charted #2 on PlayMPE's Streaming Chart in the UK, secured airplay nationally and internationally in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Portugal, and has landed on over 500 Spotify playlists to date.
