Get Here and Stay


Get Here and Stay is the second full-length album by the American indie rock band 764-HERO. The album was released on Up Records in 1998.

Critical reception

Spin deemed the album "a cool glass of lo-fi." The Times Colonist called it "feedback-drenched guitar chords and some of the most pained, emotive vocals to come out of Seattle in years."
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram listed the album as one of the best of 1998, considering it "modest, guitar-driven love songs." The Seattle Times thought that "Polly Johnson's casual, understated drum playing should be studied by every rock drummer who equates 'loud' with 'good'."
