Former frontman of The First Step, Stephen St. Germain returns in a new band with Andy Norton (Praise/Champion) on bass, joined by Evan and Mike from Mindset, together playing a youth crew style that really kind of reminds me a lot of a cross between The First Step and Mindset. Wow what a coincidence, hey? There are 5 tracks on this debut self-titled EP, all sounding different to each other. Opening track "Be Here Now" is an absolute killer and has been stuck in my head for at least two weeks. If you felt like there has been a bit of a void of youth crew bands of late than I highly recommend this, as its brilliant from start to finish.
