Deceptively technical songwriting pairs with obsessively intentional lyricism. Pittsburgh's Steve Chab Band distill life's finest moments into a rich blitz of emotion. Hear terse poems sung from a chapbook. Thumb through this intimate experience at live performances, summoning heart to sleeve. Unearth the lost, dissonant beauty of 90s-tinted emo.

Ever read or watched Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream ? In Act V, a man named Bottom (as in buttocks) “encounters” promiscuous fairies on a forest stroll. Thinking it » Continue Reading

Here’s a weird thing: I notice patterns everywhere. Not just in music but in art, storytelling, and the details of everyday life. The way certain colors evoke emotion, how sounds and visuals combine to create a mood, how ideas resurface in different forms over time. I put so much care into the whole experience of my band's album — beyond the music. The hand-painted cover, the DIY approach, the way... » Continue Reading
Inspired by an iconic photo of stock market tycoon David Tepper, I wrote a poem idolizing a large crystal bull desk figurine as an object of worship. Full of word play, Crystal Bull beckons you to worship the transparent idol, jesting at the castrated state of the worshipper of idols. Poem … Crystal Bull by Steve Chab Cleave to my clearness. Glare into my horns. Recall your holy king of the market... » Continue Reading
Music is more than just sound—it’s an experience. The best songs don’t just live in your ears; they take shape in your mind. Every song has a mood, a shade, a temperature. The art had to reflect that. That’s why the cover of Broken Images wasn’t just designed—it was painted. By hand. No sterile, digital perfection. No templates. Just real paint and textures, the same raw emotion that went into wri... » Continue Reading
Being an indie rocker in 2025 equals tossing a message in a bottle into the ocean — except the ocean is full of 100 million other bottles, and half of them are yelling “HEY CHECK OUT MY NEW SINGLE.” But I make the music which I love, exactly the way I want it. It’s a strange time. One minute, I’m hand-painting lyric books in my dining room like a 19th-century poet struggling for bread. Next I’m ru... » Continue Reading
I’ve always been drawn to spaces that feel a little lost: old bookstores, forgotten highways, the flickering glow of a CRT screen. And now, here I am, stepping into SpaceHey, a place that somehow exists both in 2005 and 2025, a digital ghost town with just enough wandering souls to make it feel alive. πΈποΈ I’m here to find humans who still believe in songs that hurt a little, who scribble lyrics an... » Continue Reading
Hey strangers, soon-to-be friends, and fellow wanderers of the internet! I’m Steve, and I make poetic, emotional rock music that lives somewhere between the past and the present—like a mixtape left in a glovebox too long, but somehow still plays perfectly. My band, Steve Chab Band , just released our first album, Broken Images, and I’d love for you to check it out. It’s moody, it’s loud, it’s quie... » Continue Reading
