SONG: "Footsteps"
ARTIST: Steady Hands
ALBUM: "Live At Ortlieb's"
YEAR: 2016
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
YEARS ACTIVE: 2012 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Footsteps" appears to be a song about a relationship between a father and son, if there was a relationship at all. The vocalist tells of his father always running from everything, his problems, his wife, his family. You almost get the sense that the boy is blaming himself for his father's actions and that in some way, he still longs for a relationship with him. I chose the live version of "Footsteps" for my song of the week. You can find the original studio version on Steady Hands' 2016 compilation album "Rude Boys Of Bar Rock".

MY THOUGHTS ON STEADY HANDS:
Steady Hands formed as a band back in 2012, hailing from Philadelphia, PA. Sean Huber, the drummer of the band Modern Baseball, formed the band. The band released four EP's, starting with 2012's "Not Many Of Us Left". This EP, and the three other EP's the band put out were all packaged together in a full compilation album in 2016 called "Rude Boys Of Bar Rock". The band's true debut studio full length would come in 2018, called "Truth In Comedy". The band's most recent release would be 2023's "Cheap Fiction". Steady Hands is a folk/punk type of band. They focus on melody and crafting good songs. Sean Huber made this band to kinda have a Springsteen type vibe but grounded in punk. Think Brian Fallon maybe. These guys have a pretty good band. I dig the vibe!
