"Best of the Week"

Tackling the subjects of life and death and the constant ebb and flow life offers us, this is a track that everyone can resonate with. For fans of bands like Coldplay, “Stay” is a laid back indie rock track that is missing from all of your playlists. - Highlight Magazine


"“Stay” by VIVE – A Song Review"

As Paul Newman asked Robert Redford in puzzled admiration, “Who are those guys?” That was a catch phrase of the 1969 movie “Butch Cassidy,” but we asked the same question (also in admiration) as we hunted for information about the Brooklyn-based band VIVE.

Based on their song “Stay,” VIVE is a band that is equally strong at vocally driving a song and allowing their guitars to do the heavy lifting. The track begins calmly with band vocals asking the question, “Why don’t you stay?” The start gives no sign of an impending guitar invasion. As “Stay” progresses, there are hints of a shift away from the vocal-centric nature. The guitar is no longer the background support, instead taking a Shoegaze/Rock position in the track. Then, 90 seconds into the song, a cordial coup occurs. The guitar is in power, until the masterful arrangement, production and mixing temporarily returns “Stay” to its tranquil beginnings.

The Soundcloud stream states that "Stay" embodies the constant tension of coming and going, the constant tension of birth and death. VIVE is a trio in Brooklyn who describe their music as being about life and love and why. - Indie Obsessive


"Five Indie Rock Jams You Want to Hear"

One of the “sounds like” bands given to us for VIVE was Switchfoot and after a few listens of this track I think that’s on point. There’s a perfect balance of “down to earth” chill rock and atmospheric “fly off the stage” big production. When it all comes together, it’s a band that feels like it cultivates the middle ground really well. It’s a song that lives in the guitars and keys more than the vocals and we’re okay with that. - Ear to the Ground Music
