Stereo Skyline was an American pop rock band from East Meadow, New York, United States, which formed in 2006. They are best known for their song "Uptown, Get Around" first heard in The Suite Life Movie.

The group has played at The Bamboozle 2007, The Bamboozle Left 2009, The Bamboozle 2009, The 2010 Take Action Tour, The Bamboozle Roadshow 2010, released two EPs, and released their debut album Stuck On Repeat on July 20, 2010, on Columbia Records.

In 2006, Matt Villani left the Pop Punk group, Valet Parking to form a new band, called Stereo Skyline. Villani initially played piano and synth and sang lead vocals for the band. He recruited Jay Marotta and Anthony Purpura of his former band, Aerosol, to play guitar and bass, respectively, Dane Drozdzewicz to play drums, and Eddie Dizura of Suddenly October to play guitar.

Soon after the formation of the first line-up, Dane left the band and was temporarily replaced by Chris Capuano of Valet Parking/Set In Color until Anthony was moved to drums. Tom Angenbroich of Don't Fall Darling was recruited to play bass and scream. Eddie also left and was replaced by his Suddenly October band mate, Kevin Bard, who was recruited to play guitar and sing backup vocals. This would remain the line-up for their first EP, The Worst Case Scenario.

The Worst Case Scenario was recorded by producer Nick Zinnanti in his Bethpage, New York studio and was released in 2006. The band toured around Long Island to promote their release.

In 2007, the band underwent a major line-up change. Kevin became the lead vocalist. Matt became the backup vocalist, continued on piano, and picked up guitar. Anthony switched to playing synthesizer, and Rob Michelsen joined the band to play drums. The band played at The Bamboozle for the first time that year.
