California reggae-rock staples The Expendables have returned with “Stay Now (Dub Remix),” a fresh reimagining of one of the band’s fan-favorite tracks featuring Eric Rachmany of Rebelution.
Originally released in 2017, “Stay Now” has remained a standout in The Expendables’ catalog, bringing together the band’s signature blend of reggae, surf rock, and laid-back California energy. The new dub remix gives the track a different kind of space, leaning into deeper grooves, hazy textures, and a more atmospheric feel while keeping the heart of the original intact.
The Expendables have long been a key force in the reggae-rock scene, building a loyal following through years of touring, high-energy live shows, and a sound that connects punk edge, beach-town ease, and roots-inspired rhythm. On “Stay Now (Dub Remix),” that identity comes through in a more spacious form, letting the groove stretch while Rachmany’s presence adds another layer of warmth and familiarity.
The remix feels built for longtime fans who already know the original, but it also works as a relaxed entry point for new listeners. Rather than simply updating the song, The Expendables use the dub format to pull out different colors from the track, emphasizing rhythm, echo, atmosphere, and feel.
The release arrives just ahead of the band’s upcoming summer tour, with dates kicking off in June. For a group that has always thrived on the road, “Stay Now (Dub Remix)” lands at the right time, giving fans a fresh version of a familiar favorite as The Expendables gear up for another busy season of shows.
With the new remix, The Expendables remind listeners why “Stay Now” has continued to resonate while giving the song a laid-back new life for summer.
