Brisbane, Australia’s STEPSON released Help Me, Help You worldwide on March 26th via SharpTone Records. The album is available HERE.
The band recently premiered a brand new video for ‘Come With Me‘ via Knotfest. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/UFQzw4VQOr4
“Come With Me‘ is about the struggle of understanding both sides to a story, especially where no communication is involved,” the band explains. “It’s about being unable to fulfill expectations you’ve been set and failing to be the person they thought you were. The film clip captures one side of this story and how the subtle decline can lead to desperation.”
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.”
Stepson were 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!”
Stepson are due to play their debut UK shows in November as part of the Impericon Never Say Die Tour alongside Polaris, Emmure, Currents and more.
