STARS ALIGN
TO RELEASE 3-SONG DEBUT DIGITAL EP PLUS VIDEO
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1
VIDEO FOR “DON’T BRING ME DOWN” DIRECTED BY DARREN DOANE
UP NOW ON FUSE On Demand
BAND TO PERFORM LOS ANGELES SHOW AT THE WHISKY
ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10 AT 8:15pm
STARS ALIGN, a powerful new pop/rock quintet from Los Angeles, will release their self-titled debut December 1. The sound on the three-song digital EP and video is anthemic and hook-driven, an unapologetic delivery of melodic, arena-ready rock meant to unite music lovers from all across the spectrum. On songs such as the first single “Don’t Bring Me Down” and the infectious, sing-along “Wrong,” STARS ALIGN use such influences as The Cure, Jimmy Eat World, The Killers and Coldplay as a jumping off point to create their own sound. The group will perform a one-night-only show at The Whisky (8901 W Sunset Blvd.) on Thursday, December 10 at 8:15pm.
The exclusive three-song EP plus video–produced by Joe Don Rooney, guitarist for country/pop supergroup Rascal Flatts–will be available via iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Napster and eMusic: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=340027220&s=143441.
For the “Don’t Bring Me Down” video, STARS ALIGN tapped award-winning filmmaker and music video mastermind Darren Doane (Blink-182, Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat, AFI, Deftones, Atreyu) to direct. Shot at various locations throughout Los Angeles, the clip features appearances by Jayde Nicole (MTV’s “The Hills,” Playboy’s 2008 “Playmate of the Year”) as well as Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts. After receiving a world broadcast premiere on MTV’s “The Hills-After Show,” the video can now be seen via Fuse On Demand.

STARS ALIGN–JOHN STEPHENS (lead vocals, keyboards), ROB HILBURGER (guitar), HENRY FLURY (guitar), SEAN MCKINNEY (drums) and DAN CAMACHO (bass)–is a refreshing return to real songs and a real rock show. “I’ve believed in the group since the first time I saw them perform at the Troubadour in Los Angeles,” explains Joe Don Rooney (Rascal Flatts). “STARS ALIGN is going to make a lot of noise next year.”
