press releases.
"It's the kind of music that takes you by the hand and never lets go of you again. Whether you like it or not, the melodies of Steep are addictive. They are reminiscent of films with a happy ending, films that were marked by passion and a little melancholy and where the tension is only released at the end." (2006/06, Sueddeutsche Zeitung)
"Electric guitars with an incredible feeling for incredible melodies, an incredible singer and incredible songs. Steep are what has been missing for so long - rock music, not for wimps but for a neat big party in front of and on the stage." (2005/04, gigsforyou.de)
"The balance between Pop and Rock has been mastered by Steep with their outstanding talent for song writing and uncompromising realisation in varied arrangements. The listener is rewarded with stirring melodies and 100 percent honesty." (2005/03, Miesbacher Merkur)
