2020 was off to a good start for Belgian rock band Crooked Steps. They were one of three winners of radio station Studio Brussel’s talent competition De Nieuwe Lichting (‘the new class’). They didn’t fully benefit from it though, because… well, you know. But I’m convinced their music will take them where they’d like to be, eventually.

New single Catherine is further proof of Crooked Steps’ infectious song-writing. It’s a classic rock song in every sense. It starts with a nostalgic guitar melody, which is quickly accompanied by a driving drum beat. Thanks to the added surf guitar, it ends up being an energetic, summer-y tune.

Catherine is about keeping your distance from someone you like. A good advice, not only in times of corona, but also after a difficult relationship. More new music will follow this Spring.
