Find of The Week Vol. 3 No. 13: The Steelwells

Don’t worry, there’s nothing unlucky about finding yourself in the #13 slot on the coveted Find of The Week list.

The Steelwells are an unsigned Fullerton, CA band that are riding the high of their 2009 debut EP release Shallow On The Draft. The songs are infectious and frontman Joey Winter just has one of those voices. You know, the one when you just can’t stop listening and start to wonder how is that voice coming out of that burly face?

After playing shows relentlessly the band is finally receiving the recognition that they deserve. The track “El Capitan” was featured on the hit NBC show Chuck and the band was selected as one of 16 unsigned bands to battle it out over a Rolling Stone magazine cover and a major label contract. Unfortunately The Steelwells were knocked out in round one but the publicity can’t be anything to complain about.

Be sure to head over to iTunes and splurge the $7 for a copy of Shallow On The Draft. You can listen to two track below and go to their MySpace page to listen to three more tracks from the album.
