Bio:
Starmen was formed in 2018 and was from the beginning just a fun idea, to make a record to all the heroes from the 70’s and 80’s classic rock-scene. Part of the tribute to the old rock icons was to create a grand gimmick around the band, were each member has their own color and wears a makeup-star on their face.Debut album Welcome to my World and the second album Kiss the Sky released by Melodic Passion Records in 2020, and distributed by Sound Pollution Distribution, were both big surprises for many diehard rockfans, and the rockmedia was taken by storm. Both albums received brilliant reviews, which of course inspired them to create more music.Starmen make original music with a great passion. After the two first albums, the band has cemented their position in the rock world and has found their own musical DNA.The third album “By the Grace of Rock’n’Roll” will be released February 26th in Japan, and March 12th in the rest of the world.
Album:
Delivering a cavalcade of hits, Swedish hard rock band STARMEN have been keeping the flame alive for the 70s / 80s classic rock sound during almost a decade now. In their music, melody n’ catchiness takes the front seat, with original songs that are hard to resist, graphically packaged in a retro comic book style with a running theme that oozes superheroes and rock stars.With 4 albums under their belt, many fans were asking for a ‘best of’, especially rockers from all over the world whom discovered the band recently. “The Best Of Starmen Volume 1” is a perfect introduction for new listeners and a great reminder for loyal ones.In the same style as their rock heroes from the 70s and 80s, the band goes all the way in terms of image with full make-up and accompanying stage clothes, where each member has their own color. Of course, you can see nods to the bands from these eras in appearance and musical style, but that’s where the similarities end.STARMEN write their own songs and are not afraid to bring the music of previous decades into the present.For those of you already familiar with the band and the albums already released, “The Best Of Starmen Volume 1” is just more fun, more sweet rock n’ roll all into one package. For new listeners eager to hear the best STARMEN songs – some have been re-mixed, btw – this Volume 1 works like a great, fresh rockin’ playlist.STARMEN formula works, and works well. They deliver polished melodic hard rock, full of hooks, harmonised vocals and catchy lyrics. No, Starmen aren’t reinventing the wheel, they know what fans of this genre like and expect, and deliver exactly that.
