Say-10 Records has announced new project Steveo & The Crippling Addictions (Steveo from Holy Mess and Tim Browne from Elway). The do is currently recording with the expectation of releasing their debut this summer, tentatively titled Desolation Monday.
While recorded as a two-piece, the expectation is for early shows to feature Steveo solo, perhaps later joined by a full band.

Packing enough energy and rambunctious attitude to rival … Read more

Everyone can relate to the … Read more
Rob Huddleston (Ann Beretta) SPB: Did you use a different model guitar on the recordings of your old material (Old Scars, New Blood) than on the original recordings? How did it affect the overall sound, in your opinion? Huddleston: The answer is yes and no. Old Scars, New Blood is … Read more
