"The Stars Down to Earth find themselves miles away from the ‘standard’ drums, bass and guitar format seen in so many indie bands, this is something much, much more.

Formed by lead vocalist Alastair Gray, bassist Toby Dore and keyboardist Chloe Debouzie, The Stars Down to Earth have spent the last two years writing songs about hope in the face of disaster and danger.
