Stepson – Band Bio (for Stepson, 1974)

Emerging from the gritty rock scene of Los Angeles in the early 1970s, Stepson carved a reputation as a no-nonsense hard rock band that boiled down the decade’s excess into pure, unapologetic attitude. Formed by seasoned players who had knocked around in earlier groups and picked up the raw essence of live performance on the club circuit, Stepson exploded onto vinyl in 1974 with their self-titled debut—their sole official album, but one that has lived on as a cult favorite among fans of tough, streetwise rock ’n’ roll. The lineup brought together Jeff Hawks (vocals), Joey Newman (guitar), Bruce Hauser (bass), and Len Fagan (drums), each of whom poured their collective fire into a sound that fused the swagger of Detroit rock with West Coast edge. Critics and collectors have often compared Stepson’s style to the proto-punk grit of the Stooges or MC5, meshed with the hard-driving grooves more typical of early ’70s L.A. rock. While Stepson never reached mainstream recognition, their lone LP has been rediscovered by cult audiences and record diggers who value its raw energy and unfiltered delivery. With riffs that cut straight to the bone, street-level storytelling, and vocals that teeter between a snarl and a soulful wail, Stepson has come to represent one of those rare moments when a band captured lightning in a bottle—even if only once. Today, the album remains a hidden treasure from the hazier corners of the 1970s, a testament to the era when rock bands were still dangerous, hungry, and fiercely themselves. Fast forward to 2025, RidingEasy Records has now properly remastered and re-issued this album for all to enjoy.

Brown Acid the Twenty-First Trip

Here we are again in 2025, Brown Acid The Twenty-First Trip arriving right on
time as the world at large degrades further into disorienting self-absorbed isolation and chaos. Ten powerful early hard rock brain benders, primal energy exploding sideways out of the ash heap of ‘60s idealism, rocking the darker side of human nature in style! Raw and unfiltered, no compromise, blasting gnarly sound perfectly sequenced to take you on one helluva ride! Territory populated with dicey characters, perilous women, predators, bad relationships… anti-social alienation delivered with smoking guitars, real people ripping it with no self-defeating namby-pamby finesse sabotaging their brutal energy. Every track sounds fresh today because Brown Acid is the real deal when it comes to what matters in music… communication! Life itself sonically sneering across time!

Hailing from the Central Valley of California, HÖG’s founding member Daniel moved to Portland in 2018 and formed the group, releasing an EP with the initial lineup in 2022. In early 2024 it was announced that Portland locals and friends Adam and Bobcat would join ranks, and they went to work playing shows and developing their upcoming debut album, BLACKHOLE.

While HÖG aligns with the familiar tones and rhythm of heavy rock n roll of the 1970s, this group is by no means derivative. Their collective influences and backgrounds of punk and metal that encourage steady experimentation, along with what Daniel identified as “the dirty bleakness that Portland embodies most of the year” allows the sound of BLACKHOLE to stand on its own. It is dark and grimy, and best played loud.

Daniel’s writing occurred over two timelines, and while the lyrical content has shifted from “optimistically defiant and lighthearted” in the early work to more serious subject matter influenced by “the state of the world, depression, and sex” in newer songs, the execution in both live performance and studio sound does not feel disjointed. This stands as a testament to the band’s membership and unity. Adam’s swift cadence on the kit with Bobcat’s bassline moving in waves, the low end allows Daniel to wail through every fret on his guitar while performing his lyrics in an equally wide vocal range.

Recorded in the summer of 2024 in the back of Trevor Labovitz amp repair store named Arcane Amps in Portland Oregon, entirely on 2” reel tape and spanned about 2 months recording after hours when the shop was closed.

Mixed by Matt Williams, known for his band HELL from here in Oregon.

Mastered by Amy Dragon at Telegraph Studios.

The post HÖG – BLACKHOLE (AUDIO VIDEO) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Undoubtedly the heaviest of America‛s ‘proto-metal’ bands from the period, BANG also had a strong sense of melodic power, which should have led them to much bigger things. Highly regarded as a cult act by many for years, it‛s now time for this truly amazing rock band to be enjoyed by a new audience. As can be heard, the versatility and songwriting skills of BANG were (are) second to none.
