Our best review yet just came in from our friends at Elmore Magazine. “Steez is poised to take funk in a bold new direction with their debut disc. Innovative, daring and highly danceable, this disc is funk’s delirious, decadent future.”

Steez named “New Groove of the Month” on Jambands.com.

Steez featured in the “On the Verge” section of the latest Relix.

Glide Magazine full-length interview: The Hot Spot with Steez

Cited in Madison’s Isthmus Independent Press as one of the Ten Most Influential Bands in Madison throughout the 2000’s (we’re gunnin’ for you on the all-time list Steve Miller).

“Funk behaves as the base vibe from which the band then takes fanciful expeditions towards progressive, electronic, and just plain different sounds. With a strong throughline that remains a highly danceable funk groove, there’s an astonishing level of cohesion through some rather adventurous sonic sojourns. When it works, that’s Creepfunk.” – Jambands.com

“More than 50 years later, the pop paradigm is shifting in a way that’s just as fundamental. The synthesizer is eclipsing the guitar as the primary voice in the most influential pop now being made. From the simple synth riffs that define MGMT songs like “Kids,” to baroque compositions such as Animal Collective’s “My Girls,” the synthesizer is increasingly the heart and soul of 21st-century pop. That trend is weaving its way into the fabric of Madison music. And that’s why Creepfunk Crusade, the new CD by Steez, is a seminal local release.” – The Isthmus (full feature with interview)

And last but certainly not least, Steez has been accepted as part of the legendary Home Grown Music Network distribution team. We’re very happy to be on board with these guys as they have long been an intergral cog in the jamband scene. Founder Lee Crumpton won the Jammy – or more specifically the Grahamy – for industry / support of the scene. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship.
