“100% fist-in-the-air, balls-on-the-floor ROCK with incredible performance and outstanding musicianship. This band is going to emerge like a punch in the face leaving the British public begging to be hit again.” –  Total Rock Radio
“A stunning collection of 12 humungous rock tracks”–  KERRANG! Magazine
“We’ve finally found a band that can really compete with the big boys.” –  BBC Introducing
“a great new British band...really, REALLY good stuff...Look out for the album (Peace Machine)...Get it if you can... Believe me, they're hotly tipped for 2010!”–  Ian Camfield (XFM)

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 rock stalwarts like Soil infusing the tenacity and energy of Cancer Bats and Alexisonfire.

Since 2000, Starseed have grown from strength to strength with significant achievements in 2007 and 2008 including performing at Download Festival 07, supporting 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster for a blow-up New Years show at Monto Water Rats and being nominated for Best Live Band at the Indy Music Awards 2008 all off the back of their EP Release “Love’s War”.

However, 2009 was to be the biggest turning point for the band with the recording and release of their highly acclaimed new album “Peace Machine”.

“Peace Machine” was produced by Jason Wilcock of Stakeout Studios (Reuben, Fightstar, The Ghost Of A Thousand). The album launch party was held at a packed headline show at IndigO2 at The O2 which led to a full page feature in Kerrang! Magazine in August 2009, extensive national radio play including a BBC introducing interview and TotalRock Radio interview, shows and future bookings all over the UK. Starseed’s music video for single “Shine” -  directed by Ben Thornley of Sitcom Soldiers (Therapy?, Fightstar) – has also been very well received and was accepted for rotation on Scuzz TV. “Shine” was featured on Ian Camfield’s Rock Show (XFM), Bruce Dickinson’s Rock Show (BBC Radio 6) and Alex Bakers New Music Show (Kerrang Radio) to name a few. Starseed completed a successful Mini UK Tour in Nov/Dec 2009.

2010 continues to bring fantastic success for the band with Starseed being asked to record a live studio sessions on XFM Radio in Feb and Rock Radio Scotland in March. Single “Shine” has been featured on BBC Radio 6, XFM, Planet Rock, Music Choice and being A-Listed on Totalrock radio as well as featured on numerous national FM and University Radio stations. The band have completed a UK Spring Tour ending it off with an epic headlining show at Kick Out The Jams Festival held at 229, London. The event was sponsored by Blackstar Amps, Atticus Clothing, Totalrock Radio and Clink Music Magazine. The boys continue to span the UK with more dates confirmed including being invited to play the London Tattoo Convention and Hard Rock Hell IV (w/ Skid Row, Uriah Heep, UFO and others.)

Keep an eye out for the boys in your town.
