"This is world-class music, period. No labels necessary." --Fred Mills, Blurt Magazine, Review of "Warm People", March 2009
"A very mesmerizing mix of songs that can be hushed and calm one moment, and then suddenly dark and explosive the next." - RobinHilton, NPR All Songs Considered
"The brief tease of a 30-year-old [Queen] classic came by way of a rather transcendent set by indie pop maven act, stephaniesid. The band was different, melodic, quirky, and just plain good when one thinks of how many bands were trashing guitars throughout the tents at this point of
the evening. A sleeper act which hit the mark with an almost Bjork-like panache. Ahh.... Iceland, again." --Bonnaroo Beacon, June 2008
Stephaniesid is indie pop revelry! The foundation is Stephanie (lead vox, guitar, synth) and Chuck (keys, bass pedals, backing vox), and a drummer (currently the fabulous Tim Haney), and sometimes we're able to bring Matthew on vibraphone and Jacob and Justin on horns, or singers, or other folks we like to make music with.
We always play with heart and lust and gusto, because there's no point in doing anything else. We 
care about people and things. We often brood about them. But not for terribly long, as there is no gain in taking the human condition too seriously. The music, like life itself, is striving, searching, inconclusive, and (hopefully) beautiful.We have chosen to live in the best city... Asheville, NC, in the mountains.
And they've voted us "best indie band" here, 3 years in a row! People who live elsewhere and read about us are apt to think we've got banjos on our knees. Though Steph wishes she knew how to play a banjo, we are happy that people are slowly beginning to look around obvious identifiers.
We used to have a lot of other stuff about the history of the band up here on this page. But it's boring to read. Suffice to say we've been around for about 5 years, we like to tour, the national press takes notice every once in awhile, and people in increasing numbers are coming to hear us play.
