Artist Spotlight: Steady Hands

Wrapping up the month of August with a brand new installment of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head down to the City of Brotherly Love otherwise known as Philadelphia, PA and uncover the folk infused sounds of Steady Hands. The band consists of Sean Huber, Jake Ewald, William Lindsay, George Legatos, Andrew Kirnan, and Richie Straub. The band's music is an interesting mixture of folk and punk rock rhythms conjured upon a staggering lyrical wisdom that is enthralling and something to be treasured the moment you first hear it. When I first read the band's genre description, I was definitely intrigued at the odd combination of genres, but it really hit home for me when I heard it in its finished form with deeply passionate and insightful vocals that is unlike anything else currently out there and really tugs at your heartstrings with its 1-2 punch of intricate lyrical poetry and whimsical instrumentation that takes you along for the ride and raptures you in almost immediately upon first hearing it. A terrific upstart band that is only going to get better in time. Some terrific tracks for you to discover include "Fragile Heart" and "I Swear Like A Sailor".
