The Steps
Bio
Born under the influence of classic rock in the Live Music Capital of the World,
The Steps chisel through modern rock with 60’s sensibilities. The band achieved
international success with their first releases: a 7″ vinyl single brought by Young
and Lost Club Records (UK) in 2007, and their eponymous debut LP on Kurofune
Records (Japan) in 2008. Continuing with long time producer, Chris “Frenchie” Smith
(JET, Explosions in the Sky, The Dandy Warhols), The Steps’ first U.S. release,
Take It All In, hits stores July 21st.
On July 21, the Austin rockers will release Take It All In, produced by
Chris “Frenchie” Smith (JET, Dandy Warhols, Explosions in the Sky). The EP distills the
band’s 60’s influenced garage rock to it’s most potent and frenetic form.
Formed in 2005 while still in high school, The Steps first achieved international success with releases and tours in the UK and Japan. Launched by a strong Texas following, the band has shared the stage with Bob Dylan, The Raconteurs, and the Black Keys at major festivals Austin City LImits (2007 and 2008), North American Music Union in Pittsburgh, and South by Southwest.
Press
“The reality of The Steps’ [album]: it’s good. It’s not a little bit good, or tolerable, or even qualifying party music for American Apparel staff parties. It’s really, really good.” (Austinist)
“The Steps are wise beyond their years, but with the cocky swagger that comes with the invincibility of youth” (The Onion: AV Club)
