Emerging from the NY Underground scene with their sights
set on the 'big picture', THE STEP KINGS are the best of all
worlds. This unique 3-piece from New York City bust out on
their debut ROADRUNNER release, LET'S GET IT ON, with
an infectious assortment of memorable heavy melodic songs
with strong backbeat and raging guitar riffs.
Formed by Bob McLynn (bass/vocals) in February of 1997,
THE STEP KINGS took shape when McLynn and
bandmates Fern (guitar/vocals) and Mike Watt (drums) laid
down tracks for their first-ever recording, the EP SEVEN
EASY STEPS. The EP received glowing reviews, earned
respect at College radio and saw THE STEP KINGS play
shows with bands of various genres - Everlast, Kid Rock and
The Dickies to name just a few.
The band went into the studio with producer, Machine
(Pitchshifter, White Zombie, Coal Chamber) to pull together
their first full length recording for ROADRUNNER Records in
mid 1999. The result - the band's debut effort, LET'S GET IT
ON, features the anthemic stomp "Vibe", the hard-rocking
"Imbalance", the jump-out-of-your-seat jam "Get It" and the
infectious, funky-grooved "Right Is Wrong" among its twelve
powerful tracks.
ROADRUNNER is due to release LET'S GET IT ON in
February of 2000. A high-energy blend of various styles with
an aggressive kick, the album straddles genre boundaries
and will draw its audiences from all points in the rock world.
