stebee

An introvert trapped inside the body of an extrovert. stebee is the solo project of Steven Bardgett (they/he), singer, guitarist and songwriter in the band Mouses.

Bringing the same energy, passion and brutal honesty that has come to be expected from anything Mouses, stebee takes an eclectic mix of noise rock, garage punk, alt hip hop, jazz, folk and baroque pop to create a chaotic, erratic performance like no other.

What started in 2020 as a way to experiment outside of the Mouses scope, as well as a way to look deeper within and create art that was purely cathartic and therapeutic, stebee has expanded exponentially into something much more.

After a sold out scrappy folk-punk 7” release on North East label, Butterfly Effect, stebee has blossomed into a genre-less orb of unnerving self-reflection. Like an intense punk therapy session or the soundtrack to a nervous breakdown, stebee is flying the flag for self-acceptance, confronting your demons and shouting about all the things that are difficult to shout about.

It’s noisy. It’s beautiful. It’s vulnerable.
