Stars Apart the band formed in 2005. It's a very melodic 4 piece band that kicks out crafted, vibrant rock tunes with warm, expanding tones. There are some familiar ingredients you can hear in this music that represent the sound, extracting hints of eclectic bands that paved the way for rock music. Make no mistake though, Stars Apart owns their original space in music with dynamic, intelligent songs, and cool energy. Seasoned and polished, the band members look to bring the Indie rock market labels a pro style project with certain appeal. Stars Apart will look to record their debut CD over the next few months with a Spring 2007 release and continue to perform at local Philadelphia venues as well as others. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stars Apart's new "Investigation Of The Phantom Signal" may be indebted to Guided By Voices, but not to any one phase. In "Youth Mind Recovery Factory" alone we hear the zippy Power - Pop of Ric Ocasek - produced Guided By Voices & the more British - tinged, chug -a- chug punk of earlier days. Frontman Michael DeCastro is similarly smitten with words, seen a mile away in song titles like "Archery School" & "Iconoclastic Snakes". Whether with a folky strum or a Superchunk - y din, Stars Apart resurrect a '90s sound without all that troublesome lo-fi. More than anything, "Investigation" is the sound of indie rock aging gracefully. (Doug Wallen)
music sounds great, a hint of the mysterious Pine Barrens. I almost went to some outdoor concert there in mid-sept, Bobstock, I think it was. ever heard of it?

GRAMMAR DEBATE! “An endearing mish-mash of some of the best bits of indie pop over the eighties and nineties, GRAMMAR DEBATE! are proud to wear their hearts and influences on their sleeves...This debut is a hearty collection of hooks and riffs, of harmonies and tinkling, of guitars soaring then stopping, sometimes starting again. This is catchiness personified with a band just, plainly, having fun and to hell with what anybody thinks.”
THE SWIMMERS (Mad Dragon Records) "...It is delightful, shimmery fare with rich layers of thumping percussion and chimey harmonies...threads of Wilco and Lemonheads and The Shins, all wrapped up in a fresh and original package."
XYZ AFFAIR (From Brooklyn NY) "The path to happiness is as easy as X-Y-Z. Sometimes you need some good old fashioned power pop in your life to remind you that the sky can be sunny every now and then. Who needs angst when you've got The XYZ Affair?”
THE MODERN SKIRTS (From Athens GA) "...A pop band with a relentless focus on melody and song structure. Above all else, the songs compiled in their two years of existence beg to be hummed. The boys own strong convictions towards lyrical weight, lush instrumentation, and righteous harmonies.”
