Quiet Steps are a three-piece screamo/indie band from Brisbane, Australia. They released their Think Aloud LP last year, and from what I understand they've got another on the way shortly.

Their first EP was somewhat reminiscent of the post-rock / screamo fusion; with mellow melodic passages, cool little jangly riffs and yelled-rather-than-screamed vocals. They went for a bit of a different sound on this LP, which has a healthy dose of indie and punk thrown into the mix. The songs are a bit more upbeat, and rely more on songwriting and rhythm to get the job done. It's a pretty long one – 13 songs over 48 minutes – but it's a fun record and worth checking out.

    Mine only shows up the way it does because I had a pre-existing blogspot account.
