Here’s a new video from Portland alternative band Shadows on Stars. It’s got a really chill alternative feel so if your not into that sort of thing, you may not like it, but if you want some indie/alternative to relax to, “Here” is a good song for that.
Can anybody tell me what commercial they’ve heard this song in? When I heard the beginning guitar riff, I swear I’ve heard this on some slick alcohol commercial. I love the instrumentals, the vocals can be a bit annoying but this is a fun alternative punk song off Shadows On Stars self-titled debut album (Free Download) which is a must-listen project!
Watch the video to “Out Of My Head” below. (more…)
About 10 days ago Shadows on Stars released their self-titled debut album, Shadows on Stars (DOWNLOAD). Listening to this indie pop duo’s debut, I enjoy just about every song and see tons of potential in this group! Seriously listen from the beginning to the end of this album and tell me their isn’t a track that you don’t like! I love all the tracks and Shadows on Stars seems like the perfect group to take the nation by storm with their fun yet emotive indie pop.
Shadows On Stars, represented by the same guy managing Moxie Black are a catchy genre-blending duo from Portland, Oregon. Here’s what their manager told me about the band:
Shadows On Stars is an indie pop/rock duo from Portland, Oregon consisting of Brian Vincent and Randa Leigh. With their genre defying tracks meandering from Pop to hip-hop to new wave, Shadows On Stars have evolved creativity to a point where classifications are a thing of the past, and listeners are jumping on board. In fact, they wrote to the Internets, “We don’t really give a fuck. You can focus on genre-fying us and we’ll just focus on making good music.”
By inserting new wave, pop, punk rock, and hip-hop flavor into their catchy, upbeat tracks, they capture the spirit of modern day genre-blending perfectly. They could probably get by on style alone, but the strength of the work really lies in the songwriting. SOS has melodies that stick to the music section of your brain like chewed up pink bubblegum, but they also work with drums and bass lines that could be thrown into a hip-hop song and effortless, brazen delivery that every good punk rocker strives to nail down.
Listen and download the three tracks Shadows On Stars has released so far. These three tracks are off their LP, which you comes out early 2012.
