After a turbulent 2020 and the disappointment of delaying not only their debut album, but their maiden European voyage, no pandemic is holding Australia’s most genre twisting hardcore band back in 2021! Stepson (punk/hardcore outfit from Australia) released their new single ‘Deeper Sleep‘ available now for streaming and purchase here. Their debut album ‘Help Me Help You‘ will be released this March 26th via Sharptone Records.
“Deeper sleep is about insecurities that can carry over from past, abusive relationships. The inner turmoil experienced everyday from past trauma can affect present and future relationships to the point where even dreams feel real. Insecurity is contagious and unfortunately can be transferred from person to person. This song is a helpless plea to help someone they love and care about from their own mind.“
“Musically it’s the most outside the box track to date and we tried to do a lot of different things technically, like dance beats, more staccato guitar work and a solo toward the back end that makes for a really cool crescendo. What we love about Deeper Sleep is that it’s a toe tapper, a track that carries a genuine sense of motion that makes you want to break out into a boogie at any given moment.“
“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. 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 favourite songs are!“

‘Help Me Help You‘ was created from a shared passion of heavy music in all its facets, with an amalgamation of melody, ferocity and angst that sets each of the 11 songs apart in their own unique, fresh way, whilst still bearing the trademark Stepson sound. The album is available for pre-order and pre-save now with details at http://stepsonpunk.com.
