About Me

Montreal singer-songwriter Peter Steinmetz, formerly of the indie wonders Good Cookies, serves up a new batch of thoughtful tunes. At times melancholic, others whimsical, always unsentimental with an unmistakable poetic sensibility Steinmetz explores topics as varied as death on a Winnebago, an imaginary King Song, Middle Aged Crime, and the self reflective "Piece of work" which can be heard on this site.Forming the band "Songmason" Peter is joined by ex-members of the Francophone power trio "Idees Noires", a group remembered fondly by the Montreal circuit. This trio, who shared stages with Montreal icons like "the Nils","les Taches" and "The Doughboys" were among the first to mix alternative rock and punk with the lyrical and melodic tradition of french Quebec music.The result: songs rooted to lyrical insight, grounded by a hard driving rhythm section (Mathieu Bouchard-Malo on drums and Adam O'Callaghan on bass) and elevated by the unique guitar colors of Felix Matte.
