"The Stepkids have already received critical praise from the likes of Details, NPR, Pitchfork and Village Voice for the single Shadows on Behalf as well as for their live performances that mix their music with psychedelic visuals. The band\u2019s next 12- inch single Legend In My Own Mind will be released in August.\nThe Stepkids are three singer/songwriters. \u201CA lot of what excites us about this band is this band itself,\u201D says bassist and keyboardist Dan Edinberg. \u201CIt\u2019s not either of us; it\u2019s about creating an entity where the entity itself is what\u2019s important.\u201D As a result, every song on the Stepkids self-titled debut album is written with equal input from each member. \u201CAll three of us write and all three of us sing,\u201D says Jeff Gitelman, who resigned from touring as Alicia Keys\u2019 guitarist to concentrate full-time on recording the Stepkids self-titled debut album. Drummer Tim Walsh continues, \u201CThere\u2019s an equal split in the creative process. Any lyric, any melody, any idea could have been done by any of us.\u201D This approach that comes from more than a decade of musical experimentation and experience. Raised on the East Coast jazz and R&amp;B circuit, individual band members went on to share stages with 50 Cent and Lauryn Hill, tour internationally with indie punk band Zox, score movies and commercials and produce solo albums. The Stepkids groove is a fusion of punk and jazz, West African and 1960s folk, neo and classic soul, classic funk and 20th century classical. The band produce, engineer and record themselves on a reel-to-reel. There\u2019s no singular icon, no singular sound, and no singular way of making it happen for the Stepkids. It\u2019s psychedelia for the 21st century, where the focus is on the whole."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
