The Steppes

The Profile

A band led by brothers John and David Fallon; celebrated for a blend of psychedelic rock and acid-folk that evokes Doors-like organ, paisley underground textures, and Irish folk resonances. Drop Of The Creature is singled out as a key album.

The review credits John and David Fallon as the principal members. Their self-titled EP appeared in 1984. Cherry Red Records acquired rights and reissued their catalogue in 2011.

A richly descriptive, affectionate appraisal of The Steppes' 1980s psychedelic-leaning work, especially Drop Of The Creature. The review highlights influences (Doors, Irish folk, paisley underground) and the Fallons' evocative songwriting. Notes Cherry Red's 2011 reissue of their catalogue.
