5.0 out of 5 stars lets get the post hardcore sound on!, May 1, 2000

Dealing a new royal hand to the fledging post-hardcore scene and helping to re-invent the staggering NYC punk scene in the process, The Step Kings have come forth to claim a throne holding all the aces. The full-length follow-up to the limited edition, self-released Seven Easy Steps EP, Let's Get It On! are "twelve jolting tales" from the Jersey side of the Hudson reflecting in the NYHC image and pop-punk appeal. The Step Kings are three well versed musicians executing the traditional power-trio format with poise and finesse. This results in well written and equally well performed songs filled with tight riffs, dance-along grooves and crafted melodies. Each is a minature tale of the NY state of mind with a unique up-beat twist in the musical presentation. What sets the Step Kings apart from the average post-hardcore band are their unique use of harmonies. The pairing of Fern (vocals, guitar) and Bob McLynn (vocals, bass) allows for layering of lyrics and vocal couter-point plus seperate lead vocal executions. This adds dynamics and diversity, accentuating melodies, spawinging harmonies and creating memorable, sing and chant-along songs. Getting it on with a NYHC stance, while keeping the melodies strong is a very delicate line to walk, yet the Step Kings do it in a commanding fashion. There is enough aggression to keep the hardcore kids slamming while allowing for the more commercial leaning mind to still feel apart of the action.

Brilliantly produced by Machine (Pitchshifter, Zombie, hed p.e., Spite) in the band's hometown stomping-grounds, Let's Get It On! captures fully the live attitude and emotion exudeded by the trio. From full-on punk aggression to straight-up rock romps the trio slams down an unmatchable post hard-core stance straight from the heart. The Step Kings hold the cards to bring the house down by presenting a respectable name to cross-over punk-inspired-rock and claim a throne on high as the undisputed fun-core kings tapping the working-man's heart in the pit.

If your are into the whole rap metal scene that The Step Kings are a band that you should add to your list. They keep great beats and rock the house. If you are into Roadrunner Records this is one of the better bands on the label I think. Now they are no Slipknot or Machine Head but they kick butt. If you like Papa Roach, Primer 55, or Reveille you will like The Step Kings.
