"Steel Petals" is an original band out of Charleston, South Carolina. Simply put, their sound is an original blend of all things familar. Combining elements of blues, rock, alt country and funk, they began in early 2008 with one goal in mind, good songs from the South with catchy hooks, catchy riffs, and well thought lyrics. They began performing in 2008 and are rapidly becoming a regional favorite. Steel Petals plans to perform extensively and will soon be in the studio to record a full album.
