With years of experience under their wings, Stankstar is the creation of three close friends who were brought together by their love for music. They bring with them a sound that speaks of finely tuned development and maturity, that stands out from the crowd. With music that is a melting pot of various styles, songs in both english and spanish, it is uniquely more original than anything on the market today. A blend of infectious alternative / rock, with an experimental latin influence, creates a sound that is inspiringly genuine and catchy. With a live show that brings an arena sized act to your local venue, StankSTar's shows are a full professional stage production that is overpowered with energy, loaded with infectious music, all at the local level.
