Brisbane, Australia's STEPSON will release "Help Me, Help You" worldwide on March 26via SharpTone Records.
Brooklyn Vegan succinctly described Stepson's sound, stating that this high-octane punk x hardcore outfit: "successfully bounces back and forth between throat-shredding hardcore and glossy emo-pop".
The band has just dropped the video for "Who Are We?"
"As a band with a broad spectrum of musical influences, we really wanted to explore every sound and style that makes us who we are", Stepson say about the track. "We were determined to create a record where every song sounded different and was a standout in its own right. 'Who Are We?' is our punk rock anthem and captures a more upbeat and lighthearted side to the band". Stepson furthers: "From the chorus that gets stuck in your head after one listen to the crazy drum fills, 'Who Are We?' brings something new to the table whilst still remaining unapologetically Stepson".
Stepson are eager to release "Help Me, Help You" — after a turbulent 2020 and the disappointment of delaying not only their debut album but also their maiden European voyage, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we've all been dealing with. "We are so proud of 'Help Me, Help You' for many different reasons, but the main focus is the diversity and range of genres and influences we have been able to capture across the 11 tracks", the quintet explains. "We are all inspired by different musicians and artists and to have that represented in our music is really exciting! We'd like to think that everyone — mums and dads, emos and lads — can all find at least one song they dig musically or connect to lyrically and we can't wait to hear what everyone's favorite songs are!"
