Mitch hangs with the Austin Texas Pop Punkers in Gold Steps at Oceanside’s Midnight Jack Brewing (RIP) and talks tour, new music, and underwear!
More about Gold Steps:
The heart of Texas is pumping with the pop-punk palpitation of Austin-based quintet Gold Steps.
Liz Mauritz (vocals) leads the angsty, energetic firestorm, rounded out by Zach Duarte (lead guitar), Ruben Tirado (bass), Alex Maranto (guitar), and Raz Garcia (drums). Chuggy guitar riffs, kickdrum blasts and spitfire vocals define the band’s sound, but while their music brings the pit to your ears, Liz’s brutally honest lyrics get to your gut. The frontwoman is open about her struggles with anxiety, self-harm and panic disorder, an overarching theme in Gold Steps’ catalogue. “I know what it’s like to hurt, to feel alone, to want to give up in a moment of darkness; if we can make one person feel understood, and less alone, we have been successful.”
