Starseed to release new album

JULY 10 2009

Starseed deliver the kind of onslaught that leaves punters moshing, cart-wheeling, screaming and dry-heaving with sheer excitement. In reality, it's some of the most satisfying melodic hard rock you're likely to hear; infused with soaring melodies and epic energy. Powerful, riff driven rock with electrifying stage shows. Their music grasps many elements of the post grunge scene drawing influences from early Pearl Jam to the power and torment found in hard stalwarts like Soil.

Since these humble beginnings in 2000, Starseed have grown from strength to strength over the years having performed at some of the UK’s most prestigious events and venues including Download Festival 07, numerous headline slots at the Clapham Grand, Camden Underworld and the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.

2008 was by far one of the most productive years for the band. They supported the 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster for a blow-up New Years show at Monto Water Rats; and Starseed were nominated for Best Live Band at the Indy Music Awards.

Stampeding along in 2008, Starseed also released their powerful single “Love’s War” and an EP of the same name which has recently received regular air-play on Total Rock Radio. The single was launched at a sold out show at the Purple Turtle in Camden and saw the band end off the year headlining a packed London Astoria 2 before it’s tragic demise.

Starseed are determined to build on their success and set the music scene alight in 2009. The band release their 2nd Full Length Album “Peace Machine” at IndigO2 on Aug 7th. Whilst recording the album, Run Through The Desert (Chris Cornell’s touring band) personally invited Starseed to play with them at a sold out show at The Fly on the 1st March, and there are quite a few more interesting nominations and festivals brewing in the pipeline.
