STEADY HABITS
New Single ‘Mess of it All’
Out Now
On ‘Mess of It All’, the latest single from UK-based Indie-Americana band Steady Habits, songwriter Sean Duggan doesn’t try to solve anything. The song offers no grand resolution; only the quiet truth that comes from being honest with yourself. “Nobody’s gonna answer for me this time”, Duggan sings with a conviction that feels hard-won, but full of promise. ‘Mess of It All’ is the third single from Steady Habits’ upcoming debut album Deviate, out 19 September 2025, a record that explores love, memory, and becoming.
Written during a season of change and emotional whiplash, it’s a track full of jangling guitars, restless heartland rock energy, and melodic charm that sits somewhere between Jason Isbell and ROLE MODEL, with a contemporary voice of its own.
“It’s about not having the answers, but choosing to stay anyway,” Duggan says. “It’s the sound of trying your best when your best isn’t perfect.”
Steady Habits have been making waves in the UK, recently highlighted as a “Best of UK Country & Americana 2024” by Holler. Their releases have picked up radio play on Frank Hennessy’s ‘Celtic Heartbeat’ on BBC Wales, and featured on BBC Introducing. Their electric live performances and evocative songwriting have earned them their showcase at the 2025 Americana Music Week in London, and band has shared stages with artists such as The Hanging Stars, Our Man in the Field, and Morganway, gracing festivals like Black Deer, Truck Festival, and The Long Road Festival, where they are set to return for 2025.
The upcoming album was engineered by Chris Barker (Premium Leisure) and co-produced by James Wyatt (Sloe Flower Studios), capturing the raw, heartfelt songwriting and lush instrumentation that have become a Steady Habits signature.
