Creating beauty out of chaos, Slow Stepper combines trashy riffs with euphoric pop melodies. Founded in the autumn of 2015 in Norway’s mountainous rain swept west coast, the band set out to make music that fully embraced their murky environment. With their debut single “Smile”, the band harks back to the nonchalant noise rock of the late 80’s American underground scene, while adding their own ambient characteristics. Released as a digital single on the Norwegian indie label Bad Vibes.
