Interviews
Dazey

Dazey Steinman and Hannah Bridger of Dazey talk their debut EP 'this is all i am i guess,'

Last month, PEI-based Dazey released their excellent debut EP This is all i am i guess,. Originally begun as the solo project of vocalist and guitarist Dazey Steinman, recent years have seen the growth of the project into a full-fledged band with the addition of bassist and vocalist Hannah Bridger and drummer Riley Peters.

The five fast-paced tracks that make up the EP take cues from emo (particularly of the Midwest variety), punk, grunge, pop, and shoegaze to create a sound that is full of vulnerability and bite. With crunchily fuzzy instrumentation, captivating melodies, and lyrics that run the gamut of emotions (and pull no punches while doing so), This is all i am i guess, cements Dazey as a band to watch. This is all i am i guess, is available digitally now, and you can pick up a copy right here.

Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Dazey and Hannah to talk about the EP, songwriting, skateboarding, and so much more. Read the interview below!

This interview between Em Moore, Dazey Steinman, and Hannah Bridger took place on August 13, 2025 over Zoom. What follows is a transcription of their conversation that has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
