Hold on tight, because Small Steps, the powerhouse band hailing from the heart of Lexington, Kentucky, just unleashed their latest sonic explosion, “Breakthroughs / Breakdowns.” These guys are no strangers to the scene, with members and alums from bands like Treason, Retribution, The Redemption Song!, The Lost Boys, Funeral at Sea, Devore, X-D Up Hands, and Death Bell. Talk about a lineup with serious musical pedigree!
This gem dropped late 2023 under the independent Blind Rage Records, straight outta Ohio. With eight tracks to sink your teeth into, Small Steps doesn’t just play music; they craft powerful tunes. Picture a wild ride through turn-of-the-century pop-punk colliding headfirst with anthemic post-punk. It’s a sound that grabs you by the collar.
The album is a guitar riff extravaganza, laying down rhythmic goodness that’ll have your head nodding in approval. And let’s talk about those choruses – they’re like a hardcore punch to the feels, leaving an indelible mark. Small Steps dives deep into themes of betrayal, pain, but also the glimmer of hope to rise and stand tall.
If you’re vibing with bands like Saves the Day, Spark of Life, and Thursday, this album is your new obsession. And guess what? If you’re the kind who loves to support bands by snagging some merch, head to their website and grab yourself a beautiful 12″ vinyl. Small Steps just took a giant leap into your playlist, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
