"With voices that could strip tar from the hull of a clipper, Cutler and Lacombe tell their tales with wide-eyed relish - while never sounding like they’re having less fun than the listener." - Leicester Bangs
"Les fondations du navire sont solides, et les fans nombreux... ils font jaser de l’Australie à l’Italie, de Paris à la Gaspésie" - Daily-Rock
"Vengono da Montreal carichi di un folk rock mischiato a punk gitano, jazz, canti marinari, narrazione blues: un genere che definiscono whiskybillie e si trova in mezzo tra Gogol Bordello, Tom Waits e Primus" - Tgcom24
"Mat Lacombe and Pi Sailin Cutler roar like drunken pirates (or, possibly, death metal screamers) through songs that swing stylistically between punk rock, Russian folk, acoustic jazz, and at least a few more" -Stripwax

The Steady Swagger features a tall lumberjack from Northern Ontario (double bass/vocals), a peculiar bearded Montrealer (guitar/vocals) and a young strapping Italian (drums/vocals). They are rugged, charismatic, ferociously fun and currently writing epic tales and composing the musical score that will birth their highly anticipated fourth album (2019).
Their debut album ...And they call it Whiskeybillie (2012) immediately ranked no. 3 in the best albums of CIBL Radio (Montreal) as well as no. 8 in the Top 10 of Beat Magazine (Melbourne, Australia). They composed and performed the theme song for the television show The Blood Brothers (ZTélé). The music video for Barrels of Rhum (single off their 2nd album) has over 65K views on YouTube.

They have toured in Italy, France, Switzerland, Canada and been featured in festivals including: Le Festival d'été de Québec, Le Festif! de Baie St-Paul, Trasimeno Blues Festival, Delta Blues Festival and Festival Folk sur le Canal.
