What happens when punk roots, poetic rebellion, and a fierce attention to detail meet? You get Tess Stevens—a bold, genre-blurring frontwoman redefining what it means to lead a modern rock band.

In this episode of The Savoir Faire Audio Experience, we sit down with Tess Stevens of Tess & The Details, a West Coast band known for their stadium-ready sound, vivid storytelling, and no-compromise style. From viral solo success during the pandemic to commanding stages across California with her band, Tess walks us through her creative evolution and the importance of building a brand, not just a sound. We dive into her writing process (hint: it involves literature and Bowie’s copy-paste trick), the magic of matching outfits, and how their latest single, “Take Me Alive,” became a sonic battle cry against algorithm addiction and internet burnout.
