With the garage rock resurgence in full swing, rock ‘n’ roll is returning to the days of packed, sweaty house shows, DIY releases and handmade band merch. And I couldn’t be happier.
Nashville, particularly the east side, is a hot bed for lo-fi gold, and local psych punk 4-piece Step Sisters are my latest find.
Catchy enough to get stuck in your head and heavy enough to let you know they mean business, Step Sisters are doing grunge right. And their 4-song release, dropped earlier this year, is like smashing a lava lamp and pouring the contents directly into your brain. See for yourself and grab the EP here. -Caroline Bowman
