005 Stepson's New Album, Help Me Help You Pit Fiend

- Musique : analyses
Stepson caught me by surprise at an all ages show in the Gabba a couple of years ago. The lack of all ages shows was, and remains, an ongoing concern among the Brisbane scene. On the Sunshine Coast about an hour north, I was going to shows as young as fourteen or fifteen years old. I was introduced to an entirely new subculture, to dozens of new friends from different schools and different backgrounds, and to the idea that maybe it’s okay to be different from whatever my perception of “normal” was. As an adult I’m keen to support any attempt by anyone to stimulate an all ages scene in Brisbane. The fact is there’s just less money in it, but this is exactly where local bands can do what labels or bigger bands can’t. Maybe Northlane can’t justify an All Ages show when they tour through Brisbane - but for a band like Stepson, they can.
