NEW ALBUM - LOVE IS A GAMBLE

New album, 'Talent To Burn' now in Sydney record stores!!!

Every gig I've ever played, Rolfe's been there. We've co-written many songs, and he's a great friend. Modest, but seriously talented as an artist and musician.

With Rolfe, Joe and Big Daddy K, after our 2RRR Radio show...

With Rolfe and Jono at Songwriters Across Australia

Steve Wernick Band - "The One That Got Away".. Featuring Damien Leith on Piano..

Steve Wernick Band- Husbands and Wives..Vocals - Steve Wernick. Music - Damien Leith..A song for my Wife..

Rock Bottom Song / Hometown - The Cleanskins Christmas Jam at Lazy Bones Lounge. It's all come full circle as the Cleanskins get back together. Rock Bottom Song written by Rolfe Knudsen and Hometown Steve Wernick/ The Cleanskins

Steve Wernick Band - Soul Of This Dying Town (Wernick/Knudsen) Recent archaic licensing restrictions and gentrification have really damaged Sydney night life..Though I suspect it may be a global problem...

Steve Wernick Band-THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA with new guitarist Paul E. Hayward and Immo on drums. Cara on Violin and Jono on Bass. Pauls string broke towards the end, but a wry smile and never skipped a beat. A race for the beers at the end..

Kill Your Own Snakes..Track number 3 on the Love Is A Gamble album. A bit of surf-rock i think...

Keep on Wearing Black. Track 2 from the Love Is A Gamble album. A true story about a dear friend who passed suddenly....

Love is a Gamble..This is the opening track from our new album of the same name.

Steve Wernick Band - Open Heart Open Mind - Sydney Vision Song Contest 2017 #3rd Place filmed in Newtown Sydney by Liam Vanderwaal..

Steve Wernick Band A song about the gentrification of Sydney..the Soul of This Dying Town...

Steve Wernick Band - War For Peace Blues/Roots, Alternative Country, Folk, Rock 13/06/2017 Talented Sydney-based singer songwriter with a pithy, politicised edge to many of his songs. Will appeal to fans of Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg, Paul Kelly and Joe Strummer. Wernick and Knudsen conjure up a blistering anthemic “Call-to-Arms” with this one. Reflecting on a dystopia fuelled nightmare of chaos, fake news and alternative facts. Wernick spits out the relentlessly bleak lyrics matched with haunting intensity by a swaggering beat and guitar/violin crescendo echoing the glory days of The Clash.

FATAL explosions drowned out the music and formed the soundtrack to his life-If you're Born under the gun you learn how to run, to protect your children and wife She bore him two sons who he loved more than life who'd be lucky to reach adulthood Every moment awake they dreamed of escaping those dirty rivers of blood CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE MERCILESS SEA THEN YOU GET DEALT WITH MERCILESSLY NO COMPASSION, NO DIGNITY, WHEN YOU'RE CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA they sometimes went hungry but they never stopped trying and took whatever work they could get Inside he was dying his wifes softly crying was a sound that he'd never forget In this world of plenty, running on empty all that they had was there faith Caught somewhere between two brutal regimes, surrounded by mirrors of hate RPT CHORUS He had no choices but to listen to the voices screaming inside of his brain History tells us of some brutal lessons of voyages destined to fail He had faith that his God would take care of the odds and lea
