About stepmom:
stepmom is an orchestral dream punk band from Oklahoma City. Their unique sound blends dreamy harmonies, ambient cello and synth, with angsty guitar riffs and powerful lead vocals. This fusion captures the essence of disillusionment felt by many seeking meaning in a distorted reality.
The band is the creative brainchild of lead singer and guitarist Lindsey Cox, whose vision is brought to life with the help of musical collaborators: Cheyenne McCoy on bass and cello, Amie Reardon on drums and oboe, and Bailey Pelletier on synth and keys. Together, they create a musical experience that is both ethereal and surreal, reflecting the complex emotions of today’s society. stepmom’s music is not just heard but felt, resonating deeply with listeners navigating their own paths in a chaotic world.
