EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Accessible indie rock that is sure to please any listener.

REVIEW
"Armed with swells of dreamy guitar, pounding rhythms and vivid lyrics, the band invite us on a nautical adventure filled with emotional jaunts of peril and peace on a vast, anonymous sea. It's hard to describe the kind of amped-up, dramatic folk vibes that this band conjures up throughout the EP because they give you so many different shades of it. From one moment to the next, you could be dancing to the crashing waves, driving snare and lilting harmonies of "This Dance is Out of Our Hands," or siting quietly on the stern listening to the soft strumming and quaky tenor of vocalist/guitarist Joseph Winter on "Compass." Settling atop a sturdy vessel of guitar, drums, bass and multi-instrumentation performed by his band mates (Andrew Eapen, Brian Manchester, Robbie Gullage, and Billy Kim respectively) Winter crafts some very potent imagery.

It takes a lot of time and patience to create a new album or EP. You want to make sure every second of every song smoothly blends together plus you need a unanimous vote that everything is a-okay from the team. Finishing up the last touches to their anticipated EP called Shallow On The Draft at Artisans Label in Fullerton with their producer, Barret Slagle, The Steelwells are ready for their masterpiece to be released. Well, there isn t an exact release date yet but it is happening at the end of the month. Just keep an eye out or an ear out and you ll know when and how to get your hands on it. The Steelwells consist of Joey Winter, vocals and acoustic guitar, Andrew Eapan, lead guitar, Robbie Gullage, bass, Brian Manchester, drums and percussion, and Billy Kim, who pretty much plays everything - keys, guitar, etc. I remember last fall when I first checked out the band. It wasn t until the OC Music Awards showcase at Chain Reaction when I finally saw them live. The band s first EP The Open Letter feels so long ago and when it was released they seemed out of touch with Orange County s music scene. Suddenly, over the last six months, they have evolved into this super group that is always up for playing shows and who everyone wants to play with, which has also earned them a nice following. Their growth in the last year as a band can easily be shown in the new seven-song EP. If you ve been to one of the band s recent shows, then you ve heard most of the songs like favorites Boxes, The End, El Capitan and This Dance Is Out Of Your Hands. But the recorded versions will have a few surprises for you. Expect more harmonies, even stronger vocals and more elements thanks to Slagle. --OC Music Awards
