( Eddie blinks, his eyes widening in shock at this revelation. Steve Harrington knows that he has a band? While he doesn't expect him to know much beyond that, the fact that he paid attention to know that is quite startling. )

I mean, yeah, and it's not like we're bad, because we're not, but still. Feels like it's imposible, you know, to get noticed. It feels like it'll take a miracle for us to get big enough to get out of Hawkins.

( He shrugs, tilting his head back and looking at the ceiling. ) But hey, if we make it big and, you know, go on tour, you could help us with all the equipment. Loading the van. Can't promise we'd be able to pay in more than beers, but, you know. ( He grins, turning his head to the side, looking like he's teasing, but also feeling like maybe he's not joking that much. )
