Artist Biography
Available in:
Punk w/ Atmosphere... Former drummer of Montreal indie group Islands, Aaron Harris entered the Brooklyn scene in 2009 when he co-founded Steel Phantoms. Jesse Newkirk soon joined the band, and the combination of pointed songcrafting and dynamic stage shows has been dazing crowds since. Now a duo, Harris and Newkirk meld elements from the history of proto-punk, alternative, and modern indie to reach wide-ranging territory unexpected from a two-piece. Nevertheless, Harris's fervid vocals and exhilarating drumming joined with Newkirk's aggressive, ethereal guitar make a definitive sound throughout. After touring with Islands in 2010 and winning critical acclaim from show critics, Steel Phantoms recorded the Forer EP in 2011. Featuring complex guitar timbres and layers of synths, all propelled by tight percussion, the record displayed a powerful-yet-subdued intensity. Riding on critical success and continued wooing of live audiences, Steel Phantoms won the November 2011 ballot for The Deli NYC's best band of the month. The record's final track, "Short Stuff," foreshadowed the band's stylistic step toward punkier, grungier sounds. http://www.steelphantoms.com
