he band is in a bar, having a drink, to celebrate to-

night‟s success. It has been a year of hard work for the

Three Steps up and few hours ago they received the best award

for their success; to see their fans excited because of them.

Throughout the past year the guys dedicated themselves to

work and music and with their concert and yet-to-be released

album „On Sunset‟, they are about to become one of the most

popular rock bands in the world.

“Tonight we feel on the top of the world!” Says Gareth Wood

(21 year old front man): “The feeling of being up on the stage

and knowing all of those people are

excited because of you is a real ec-

stasy.”

“It‟s absolutely amazing how a

crowd of strangers can make you

feel happier than ever before.” Continues 23 year old bassist,

Michael Roberts: “ When I am on stage I am a completely differ-

ent person. I am a beast who is ready to give it all to the fans.”

A Year and a half ago, no one knew about those guys. Thee

Three Steps Up didn‟t have a striking beginning of their career

as you may expect.

“We had a lot of trouble until we reached where we are now”

says Michael, “When we released our first song there was a lot

of criticism towards us. People said that we are just an-

other young band which doesn‟t have a future.”

In fact, their first few songs weren‟t really successful. The

band gathered popularity with the song “Uprising” and

since then they are like a hurricane in the world of hard

music.

“Gareth told us “Guys, we can‟t back down right now.! We

have to work harder! Now is our time.” Those words in-

spired us. We had to show them our flame!” Says Connor

Manson 20 year old drummer.

“If something doesn‟t work properly you should work on

it with all your passion and giving the best you can” com-

ments Gareth, while the other two went to greet their col-

leagues . “I was really nervous before this album was

finished.” Continues he: “I thought I didn‟t do my job prop-

erly. The songs which I

wrote didn‟t sound right

for me, but everyone else

liked them. I told about

my fears to my brother. I

played him few of the

songs and his reply was “What the hell, man! What are

you worried about? That sounds great! You guys should be

proud of yourselves.” That gave me enough confidence to

say oh, well, we are on the right track.‟

Four weeks later the Three Steps Up are heading for the

rock festival in New York and their first performance on

stage.

“We Feel On The Top Of The World!”

These are good times for the Three Steps

Up. Massive crowds of millions of fans

presented to their concert in London. It‟s

been a year of hard work, but with to-

night‟s concert the guys proved once again

they are a real Rock „n‟ Roll treasure.

concert for a chat. Three Steps Up talk

“The place was bursting of people.” Says Michael, “I was so

nervous I don‟t remember what happened the first few min-

utes.” Gareth includes, “You see, being on stage for first time is

a big deal! (laughs)”

Unfortunately, shortly after that the guys started having ar-

gument.

“It seemed like we reached what we wanted, but we still had to

work on the album , because it wasn‟t finished. We had to im-

prove the little details” says Connor. “But Soon after the festi-

val arguments between us occurred.

It was like we couldn‟t stand each

other anymore.”

“You see, when you spend your

time with the same people, con-

stantly, certain things in them start

to annoy you” includes Michael. “

We couldn‟t work efficiently any-

more. That‟s why we decided to take a little break from each

other. We needed some time to think about everything which

happened to us.

A month later the band is back

together, ready

to work even

harder, to reach

their aims of

completing the

album.

“Soon we were

back on track.” Says Gareth. “We had to travel a lot be-

cause there were, a lot of opportunities to perform around

the country and we also had to complete the album so we

were very busy.”

“There were times we didn‟t know in which city we would

wake up.” Includes Connor: “We were here and there. Eve-

rywhere!”

However, we wouldn‟t be sitting here with the band if the

music producer Jared Leon, who is here tonight to cele-

brate their success with them, didn‟t find them in a rock

club in the winter of 2009.

„We always wanted to do

music. We‟ve had been

working in a club for a while

and we never even thought

that opportunity like this

would come.‟ Says Michael.

“We always wrote and per-

formed our own songs.” Includes Gareth: “ That night, after

we performed, that guy came to us (smiles at Jared) and

simply asked us “Guys, do you want to become rock stars?”

“When I first heard them I was stunned!” says Jared: “With

tonight‟s concert they proved once again how good they

are.”

The guys collectively include, “ We don‟t think to stop now.

This is just the beginning of our story. We are setting new

aims for ourselves cuz right now we are having the time of

our lives!

“Right Now We Are Having The Time Of Our Lives!”
