Stepdad began last summer when Ultramark and Cobrazebra started writing songs in their Chicago apartment. In April 2010, the band released their Ordinaire EP following overwhelming support from friends. Stepdad has since relocated to Grand Rapids, MI where they will be performing this Thursday, 5/20/10, at The DAAC as part of Midwest Fest, a festival in which Ultramark has performed 3 years in a row.
The first song I heard by this Midwest pair was "Baby Hammers", and I immediately thought of the first time I heard Passion Pit, just a driving beat topped off with a melody made out of bubbles and giggles.

"Squares" is another great song off this EP, it's the epitome of happy, and with a chorus like "...everything's ok!", I dare you not to smile when you listen to this track.
