Exclusive track premiere of ‘Settle Down’ by Stepmother, taken from the upcoming album, ‘Planet Brutalicon,’ out 29th September 2023 via Tee Pee Records.

Stepmother is an Australian power trio fronted by Graham Clise (guitar, vocals) (Annihilation Time, Lecherous Gaze, Rot TV, Witch). Rob Muinos is on bass and vocals and Sam Rains on drums. With equal parts motor city proto punk and feedback drenched fuzz on the darker side of psychedelia.

Spearheaded by legendary underground guitarist Graham Clise (Witch, Annihilation Time, Lecherous Gaze, Rot TV), Tee Pee Records is thrilled to announce the release of Planet Brutalicon, the debut album by Oz–based outliers, Stepmother.

Channelling raw rock ‘n’ roll energy into anthems that resonate with the poor, depraved and miscreant sickos of society, the trio concoct an aural speedball of motor city proto-punk cut with power lines of fedback-fuzz and electric psychedelia.

Influenced by the likes of Blue Cheer, The Pink Fairies, Nervous Eaters, and The Damned, the band weave together a spellbinding tapestry of hardened punk rage and nefarious nihilism.

“Just think of it as a fairy-tale hells-cape of children being dragged into the woods and eaten alive by goblins and trolls,” explains Clise. “It sounds like a proto-punk fuzzed out crazy horse… don’t forget to check under the bed.”

Recorded at Rat Shack by Robert Muinos (Saskwatch) and mastered by John Davis (The Damned) at Metropolis Mastering, there’s no doubt that Stepmother is set to carve a mark in the annals of rock history with ‘Planet Brutalicon’.

‘Planet Brutalicon’ is released worldwide on 29th September 2023 via Tee Pee Records and can be pre-ordered here.
