Check out Pancakes and Whiskey’s review of Steel Phantoms: “…With such lush sound throughout every song they produce, some might be surprised to know Steel Phantom is a two-some; guitarist Jesse Newkirk shredding every chance he gets and drummer/vocalist Aaron Harris contributing high energy percussion set against his melancholy lyrics…” Many thanks to Yasmin Martinez for finding us!

Steel Phantoms – Serious Business on BTR
Serious Business on BTR
Steel Phantoms returned to the studio for a second round of Serious Business On BTR! Now in ultra-compact duo form, Aaron Harris (former drummer for Montreal band Islands) and Jesse Newkirk (guitar wizard and notorious nice guy) continue to blast out catchy punk-ish pop gems. Critical acclaim, a killer live reputation, and a growing list of high-profile gigs keep the band riding high after the recent release of their self-titled EP. The guys sat down with Travis to share their secrets for getting a full band sound out of a duo while avoiding the easy way out (aka noise or blues rock).
