Santa Monica, CA-based duo stepsonday, siblings Jason Turner (vocals, guitar, bass)
and Chad Turner (drums, vocals) grew up in Central California as the sons of a preacher --
not unlike other preachers' kids before them: Vincent Van Gogh, Alice Cooper, Denzel
Washington, Mavin Gaye and Nat King Cole. The brothers Turner are masterful students
of pop music seeing their influences casually shine in their art. The boys heads were flooded
from an early age with records from The Beatles, The Who, Nirvana and The Clash as they
quickly learned the importance of writing songs that are emotional, literate and sonically
developed. Says frontman Jason Turner, "I often use metaphors in my lyrics to creatively
paint pictures....making the messages a bit more universal."
Stepsonday's debut LP "little light" is a charming record of perfect pop songs that evoke
the boyish charm of fellow left coasters Death Cab For Cutie ("1234", "Deep"), the
sumptuous guitar rock of Nada Surf ("Boy and His Balloon") and the more cohesive
moments of Pavement ("High 5). The band recorded "little light" on their own dime
before garnering the attention of One Eleven Records owner, Brad Fischetti. "I knew
from the first line of the first song I heard that I had to work with stepsonday.
They write important songs that resonate with the listener," said Fischetti.
"Little Light" was produced by Nick Rucker (Plain White-T's, Yellowcard, Rock Kills Kid) in
Los Angeles at Doug Messenger Studios, The Ship (Aaron Epsinoza of Earlimart's collective space)
and Rucker's home studio in Orange, CA. It was here in Rucker's home studio where the album's
title was given birth. "When I was recording vocals for the album in Nick's bathroom, he had this
tiny little night light. It was the only thing I could see while I was tracking vocals. It was very
comforting, and that's what I'd like our music to be." Look for stepsonday on tour in support
of "little light" throughout 2008 and beyond...
