Stars In Stereo – Album
Preview EP
Hundred Handed, October 2012
6/10
Stars In Stereo is
an L.A.-based, female-fronted band that’s poised for major success when their
debut album is released in April. This four-song EP, as the titled suggests, is
a glimpse of what to expect when the album arrives. What you have here are melodic
hard rock songs custom-made for rock radio. The production is modern, with some
use of electronic effects on the drums and vocals that don’t distract from the
songs. Singer Becca Hollcraft has a bright, strong voice, and her vocal tracks
are heavily harmonized throughout. Aside from the radio appeal, however, there’s
not much else of note from Stars In Stereo. This is pretty run-of-the-mill rock
that’s hard not to like, but yet there’s nothing of unique, compelling
interest. With the success of like bands such as Halestorm and Flyleaf, it’s a
good bet that it will be hard to avoid Stars In Stereo in the coming year or
two. If these types are bands are your thing you’ll want to pick up the album,
otherwise it’s safe to pass on this if you’re looking something more
interesting.
