13 Steps to No-Where!

Bill Coppinger — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 11:19:42 GMT

13 Steps to no-where have sent us some of their songs and we thought they were so good we have put TWO in the third "voices from the future" podcast.

A five piece Nu metal band from regional Victoria who just loves to have a good time!

The band formed about two years ago through an exchanging riffs program running through school and have been rocking, playing many live gigs and entering any battle of the bands that come their way ever since. A 3rd and 2nd place so far!

Members include Jess on vocals, Nash on drums, Austin on Bass/Vocals, Rhys on guitar and Mark, the newest inclusion, on guitar.

The band has a unique sound with strong heavy music and elusive female vocals. Just after a year of being together the band recorded their first ever demo and later on shot theie first ever clip. 13 steps have grown over such short time and will continue to grow, with a heavy rich sound and entertaining live act 13 steps to nowhere are sure to blow your mind.
