The Stars Explode is the new rock band led by Doug Edmunds, co-founding member/songwriter/drummer/vocalist for 90s rockpop underground wonders, Gladhands, and most recently the drummer for Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies. The Stars Explode builds on Edmunds' musical legacy while looking squarely to the future. With influences ranging from the rugged British rock of Paul Weller to the loud guitar pop of the Posies to latter-day singer-songwriters like Grant-Lee Phillips, Jon Brion, and Rhett Miller, Edmunds' new band offers up a delicious blend of musical offerings.
The band currently features a 4-man lineup, which has breathed new life into the tunes Edmunds recorded on his own over the course of several months in early 2007. The debut album is available now from iTunes or Amazon. A limited edition "hard copy" release was issued in October 2008 - see the blog for ordering details!
Sounds great Doug, it's been too long since we've played. Hope the summer's been fun, I just got back from England the other day and will be back in Chapel Hill in less than two weeks probably. I'll give you a ring once I get settled in.
