STEPSON “They Say” Single Launch
Wrangler Studios, Melbourne March 12

Stepson are a 5 piece melodic-hardcore band from Brisbane, QLD that pride themselves on having high energy, honest lyrics and raw, emotive music. The band first kicked things off with their debut EP ‘Broken Bottles / Drunken Hearts’ in 2014 which immediately saw them make their way around the country. The following year, the band released their sophomore EP titled ‘Echoes In An Empty Room’. EIAER was very well received nation-wide, Alex Sievers (Killyourstereo) joked that “you might need a Valium while listening to this emotion-filled release”.

In 2016, Stepson released one single (Never Mind Me) and a 3-track EP (The Beautiful Lie). Never Mind Me was intended to be an amalgamation of the two EP’s released in the previous years, and that it was. It really compressed the band’s sound into one track and made it easy to understand what Stepson really is… until they released The Beautiful Lie.

The Beautiful Lie is a compilation of 3 songs that share very few traits with the previous music released by the band. With Brock’s clean singing and raw lyrics being the only real similarity between this EP and their past EP’s, TBL presents us with only clean, ambient guitars, atmospheric synthesisers & pads and some electronic that rings bells with Lorde.

Along the way, Stepson have been given the chance to share a stage with international acts such as Counterparts, Title Fight, Capsize and While She Sleeps as well as some of Australia’s finest like Ocean Grove, Hellions and Storm The Sky. The band was also given the opportunity to perform at 2016’s sold-out Invasion Fest alongside some heavier acts such as Kublai Khan, Graves & Cursed Earth.

AMNPLIFY – DB

Dave Bruce

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.

Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.

Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
