Sydney band STARCRAZY, the contemporary glam rockers with inherent retro leanings, are focused on maximum impact when they launch their self titled album, Starcrazy, in two short months. This release successfully transports the fire & glitter of their live performances into the recording studio with no loss of heat or dynamic & allows the band & their individual attributes, to shine. Starcrazy drops on October 18th, 2024.
Only four years into their career, STARCRAZY have hit significant highs, building momentum with a consistent and impressive output of celebrated releases. Their 2021 EP Played For Suckers and their 2023 EP Another Day, Another Squalor… have already landed them sold-out shows, placements on national television programs, and acclaim from both fans and critics. There’s no sign of slowing down.
The upcoming offering, their first full-length album, builds on foundations laid by meshing elements of 70s glam rock, power pop and 80s alternative metal in a catchy blend, resulting in a fresh take on older styles. Shout-out-loud pop vocal melodies, rock inspired pomp, and much strut and attitude are sprinkled throughout a landscape of brash riffs and groovy beats. Insightful song lyrics twist universally relatable themes into knots, captivating listeners for the album’s 38-minute runtime.
Formed in 2020 in Inner West Sydney, Australia, STARCRAZY is on a mission to become the antithesis to mediocrity. With a heady combination of 70s glam rock swagger, sunny power pop melodies, and 80s alternative metal charisma, STARCRAZY spin tales of city life, mental health, community, and spirit. The band throw attitude in the mix to amplify their belief in the freeing power of music as an escape from the realities of life’s little and big struggles.
The band names their primary influences as JANE’S ADDICTION, CHEAP TRICK, VAN HALEN, THE SWEET, and ALICE COOPER, a total blast to be name-checked and played on the latter’s own radio show. Some of the band’s other notable successes include landing reviews in Classic Rock Magazine and Power Play Magazine and opening for THE ANIMALS, FASTER PUSSYCAT and Oz punk legends, HARD ONS.
