Steve Rondo is a songwriter for his indie-rock band from Boston, MA. They released their debut Fate Loves the Fearless, featuring Matches (described as “stadium-ready Americana” by 92.5 FM The River and Afternoon Rebellion (featured on Spotify's editorial playlist Fresh Finds Indie). You can expect an exciting big-rock-sound from the group's live performances with everything from whaling guitar solos to head rocking half-times. Their songs attempt to tackle coming-of-age stories channeled through rock anthems that anyone in their 20s can relate to.

The group formed in 2017 just after graduating college when they thrusted themselves out into the real world, playing four nights a week at every bar and club nestled between the neighborhoods of Boston all the way down to the far reaches of outer Cape Cod. Since then, Steve Rondo has built up a strong fanbase throughout the Northeast and have completed two regional tours. Their debut EP launched the group into some exciting opportunities including; a supporting slot opening for Irish star, Dermot Kennedy, and securing festival slots at Levitate Music Festival 2023 and Riverfest presented by 92.5 The River.

In 2024 the group recorded their debut LP that is set to release in May 2025.
