“STARLING sing songs of alienation and innocence with the wide eyed excitement of a child lost in a slightly wierd universe. Within their deceptively simple rhythms lie some pretty cool shades of trip-rock too; there are times when it’s almost as if the White Rabbit himself has hopped up onto the stage. Their singer may hint at John Lennon vocally, but the group are at their best when they hit the distortion pedals. ‘Now I’ve Got A Reason’ is growling Sex Pistols punk, whilst ‘Say What You Will’ offers an adrenalin rush of James Bond themed madness. Its riff alone could do battle with Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir’ and slay. Slay, I tell thee! “
(Ric Rawlins, Artrocker)

Tom Robinson speaks about Alex on BBC Radio 6 Music Introducing:
"I was at a London gig last November, with loads of bands on the bill, and suddenly the one that was on stage at the time played a song I instantly recognised and I realised it was actually an artist that we’d featured three months earlier on 6 Music Introducing and that memorable song at the time was ‘Say What You Will’, the performer was Alex Starling and we’ve just heard his brand new track ‘All Looks Like Lies’. Mr Starling is clearly one to watch and you can do that at myspace.com/starlingband"
Hey, I'll be in London on the 7th and 8th of August!!! Let me know if you've any gigs I can come along to. It'll be interesting to see if your sounds have changed much in 2 years. Xxx
