looking for a sick new band? you should look no farther.
in fact, they aren’t even new. i would even go as far as to say they are well-seasoned. why more people don’t know about them is beyond me.
i love the stars. a lot.
canadian indei music at its best my friends.
so dramatic. and intense. i think the best comment i ever heard about them was when my friend said to me, after listening to their newest cd in our bedroom after the war “i am so depressed and i don’t know why.” aren’t you ever in the mood to be beautifully depressed? that is what i would say the stars are to me. insightful lyrics, accompanied by somber music. female and male vocalists whose voices mesh so well together- its all something beautiful i can’t even describe.
(do yourself a favour- listen to the night starts here, take me to the riot, midnight coward, and don’t be afraid to sing. if i could have torquil campbell’s love babies i would. repeatedly)
what are you listening to? what is your favourite under rated band?
