Good ol' British Alt Rock or could even be classed as Dark Indie. But as mentioned before we sound like the offspring of The Cure and Placebo. However to be honest we really we sound like My Dark Star!

   About My Dark Star

My Dark Star are an Alternative 3-piece from Newcastle. They formed in August 2007 after a fair few months of trying out different members. The music that MDS plays has been described best as if Placebo and The Cure had a bastard child MDS would be their offspring. This is with them being known for their haunting guitar, pounding drums and driving bass lines.

At the moment the band are involved in a competition to support Feeder which would mean alot to the band so all support would we appreciated. From all of us in My Dark Star we'll see you at the next gig


Up coming gigs!

When I heard you guys play I immediately thought of Placebo and The Cure and then I see that's what you've been likened too! very cool. Is there anywhere I can buy one of your CD's from at all?

Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire
A Fire Born In Dallas

A Fire Born In Dallas (Razmataz Lorry Excitement remix)

Available now on limited edition mini 3" CD or via digital download:

iTunes
Amazon MP3

Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes.

"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.

Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue.

Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch.
