The music of Something Sneaky has always existed somewhere between here and there. Back in the mid-2010s, the Boston band and its noisy indie-punk sound balanced a presence between the city’s network of DIY spaces and the more visible bars and rock clubs, coming off as perhaps a little too hectic for the laid-back indie rock crowd and a little too accessible for the underground scene, all while absorbing the attention of both.
That has allowed the band to exist in its own lane and create music on its terms and timelines. After a few years of relative quiet, Something Sneaky returned to action last month with a raucous new EP called Old Notes, and today the South Shore indie band release the new video for lead track “Stevie’s Here.”
The “Stevie’s Here” video was directed and edited by Cal Ciarcia, with cinematography by Liam Fitzmaurice. It was filmed around Allston and Scituate, with live footage captured from the band’s record release party at Deep Cuts in Medford. Check it out below, note the nod to classic MTV, and please keep it or the EP in mind for editorial consideration today and beyond.

Something Sneaky short bio:
Something Sneaky started as a collection of songs Justin Iacovino (guitar, vocals) wrote and recorded through his college years, released as the debut LP No Opinion Needed. To bring the record to the stage, he teamed up with his brother Jeremy Iacovino (drums) and Chris Casserly (bass), playing their first show in Cambridge, MA in the summer of 2011. Jesse George joined in 2012 after a run of guest appearances, rounding out the lineup as a full-time writer and performer.
Since then, the band has released two EPs, an LP, a single, and a 2024 collection of live tracks. They’ve toured regularly, played the Boston scene often, and are still writing, recording, and performing new music. A new EP, Old Notes, arrives in May 2026.
