Describe In Three Words: Emo, but good

Remarkable Moment: A piece of suitably grandiose music signals the arrival of Steer Clear. Here is a band not afraid to flaunt an idea or two. Nicely turned out, their dapper attire complements their perfectly tailored angst, the tender and the ferocious stitched into the fabric of their music. There is a purity to the pop-hooks that sets Steer Clear apart from the emo-also-rans, 'No you hang-up' thrashes like a wounded animal whilst 'Forever and Ever' displays a greater tenderness and the band's ability to smoothly switch emotional gears.

Crowd Reaction: A mix of the politely intrigued and positively infatuated.

Vital Rating: Shout it out, 7
