Stabilo came out of Maple Ridge, British Columbia in 1999, and they started life with a longer name, Stabilo Boss, which also became the title of their 2001 album on EMI. That record carried "Everybody", a sweet, slightly bruised pop-rock tune with a hook that sticks.
Under the shorter name Stabilo they came back in 2006 with Happiness & Disaster, a title that just about sums up the band's emotional range, and "Flawed Design", all ringing guitars and a chorus that aches in exactly the right places. "One More Pill", "Don't Look in Their Eyes" and "Kidding Ourselves" round out the handful of songs they are best remembered for.
The band called it a day in 2011, leaving behind a small, tidy catalog of Canadian radio rock with its heart on its sleeve.
