Blank Stares is an alternative rock band from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, formed after a chance reunion among longtime friends Dave Abruzzi, Mike Mokris, Dave Clauss, and Chris Navatier. The band crafts melodic, dynamic songs driven by mood swings and raw emotion. Their debut EP The Light Stays On (August 2025) showcases their authentic DIY spirit and features the singles “Crystals” and “Gut Check,” both supported by music videos and streaming on all platforms.
