Star Scream

TAKEN FROM PLAYMUSIC MAGAZINE FEATURE

What've this lot got under their studded leather belts?
This Brighton/London trio Star Scream's past gigs include support slots with heavyweights such as Rachel Stamp, Queen Areena, The Duke Spirit, The Others and Amen, the latter of which saw them hand picked by none other than metal legend Casey Chaos


Wowsa! They've been busy.
No shit, Sherlock. Add to all that a Single Of The Month on heathenangel.com, Song Of The Month of thewhitelabel.com, trumping the 700-strong competition for a slot at the 10,000 capacity TMF Rock Festival, 30 tracks worth of demos, an EP, Liquid & Pain and single, Bedroom Eyes and you're starting to get the picture.


That's rather impressive, so what do they sound like?
Well, they describe the soundtrack of their lives as a dash of Nightmare Before Christmas, a dollop of Mechanical Animals, a spoonful of Manic Street Preachers and a hint of Little Shop of Horrors, all chucked in the blender and turned on to Fast Riff for several bars, then served with a garnish of Star Scream. Personally, Playmusic thinks they sound like a smog-laden electro metal explosion. A very good thing, we think you'll agree!


In their own words:
"We're picking up loads of new fans along the way, our shows are getting better and better and with interest from the industry increasing all the time, we aren't likely to be slowing down any time soon."
