  • Bio

    ...... .. .. .."Americana driven pop rock never sounded as sweet as this - taking the nervy energy of the killers, the soul searching melodies of Matthew Sweet and giving it a Wilco make-over, gorgeous, wonderful, buy this now!" .. ..(Subba-cultcha.com) .. .. .. "Raggedy, and with a Britpop-era-crashing-into-Strokes-debut-era guitar crispness. Certainly the swirl of the cymbals, and the wail of the guitar work on a psychedelic level as well as a Weddoes-like jangle angle. "Ashamed" is of a gentler persuasion, while "Lee" charges at the floor like a furr-ball from a feline throat." .. ..(Vanity Project) .. .. .. "The digital single from COSTAR - "Too Much Talk" (Popfiction) provides a weird combination of searching newWave pop and a strange compelling sensation that there's a little bit of The Strokes and (early) U2 in there somewhere - It's not obvious, but it's maybe just because the melodies seem to stack up so well. In essence it's an authentic, searching, rough edged jangling indie joy with an ace ending which over the course of the three tracks falls into a wonderful post c86 rumble of harmonious distortions. Could be big! MMMM" .. ..(Manchester Music).. .. .. "For those of you who miss the heady days of jangly indie pop crafted by such heroes as David Gedge, new single ‘This Awakening’ by Costar could be the very fix you need. The production lends the song a sound that could so easily be from 1994, even more so when the guitar solo kicks in, and yet that is in no way a bad thing. In fact the song doesn’t sound particularly dated, it’s just that there aren’t many people putting out such compelling tunes as this right now, which makes this one all the more welcome to my ears." .. ..(Kid Vinyl).. .. .. .. .. ..BIO.. .. "With 'EXIT' we tried to capture the sound of classic pop tunes being played with conviction and enthusiasm, stripped down to a minimum of production to create that raw and pure sound you get in one-take recordings", says singer and guitarist Brighton. .. ..A deep passion for music and the same eagerness to create a great sounding album brought the four Costars together. They spent last year writing and recording to put their ideas into a final product. The result has become EXIT, an album they are proud to be releasing in the near future. .. ..Costar's debut album, 'Keep It Light' was released in 2004. The album took the band to Canada's North by North East Festival followed by gigs in New York and a tour of Norway. Keep It Light's first single 'Yeah Right' was playlisted on XFM and its quirky, low-budget, puppet-doll video was on rotation on Norways music channel ZTV. Second single 'Falling at my Feet' saw Costar achieve international recognition. 103.1 Indie FM in Los Angeles and Australia's Triple M playlisted the song as did XFM in the UK. Radio One who also played the single had the following to say: .. .."Costar have mastered the art of catchy pop with breathtaking ease a masterstroke of a tune replete with gorgeous dreamy melodies and irresistible hooks that manages to weave its magic in under three minutes". .. ..
