SINESTARS LATEST ALBUM "A MILLION LIKE US" SHOWCASES JUST HOW FAR THE BAND HAS COME IN THE SPACE OF 7 YEARS. THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN jANUARY 2018 BY CONZOOM RECORDS, IMMEDIATELY RISING TO NUMBER 3 IN GERMAN INDPENDENT MUSIC POPNAUGHT CHARTS. THE ALBUM WAS PRODUCED/ENGINEERED BY SINESTARS VERY TALENTED MARK TRUEMAN AND MASTERED BY FRIEND OF THE BAND TIM DORNEY FROM BRIT POP LEGENDS REPUBLICA. TRULY THE BANDS MOST POLISHED WORK TO DATE RECEIVING GREAT REVIEWS ACROSS THE INDUSTRY,
SINESTARS DEBUT EP INCLUDES THE SINGLE "I AM THE RAIN" , "HURRICANE" AND "LIVED FOR". THESE EARLY TRACKS REALLY SOUNDED THE BATTLE CHARGE , SIGNALLING SINESTAR'S INTENTIONS. WHILE THE SOUND HAS EVOLVED OVER THREE ALBUMS, THE SOUNDSCAPE IS UNMISTAKABLE. A LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT ONE OF THE TRACKS ON THIS EP IS THAT THE MELODY AND LYRICS WERE RE WRITTEN JUST 15 MINUTES BEFORE IAIN LAID DOWN THE VOCALS. THE TRACK BEING REFERRED TO IS "HURRICANE". IAIN WASNT HAPPY WITH THE TRACK SO SAT DOWN IN THE STUDIO PRODUCTION ROOM TO RE-WRITE. AS IAIN LOOKED AROUND THE ROOM FOR INSPIRATION HE SPOTTED A MAP OF THE WORLD ON THE WALL OF THE STUDIO. THE OPENING LINE TO THE SONG IS "TAKE A RANDOM PAGE FROM THE ATLAS OF THE WORLD". INSPIRATION IS ALL AROUND!
"THE SAME WAY" WAS TAKEN FROM THE BANDS "RUNNING HOME EP", AND DEBUT ALBUM "SINGULARIS". THE TRACK HAS BECOME A MAINSTAY AND FIRM FAVORITE WITH THE SINESTAR FAITHFUL, FULL OF ENERGY THIS TRACK IS ONE THAT THE BAND ARE VERY PROUD OF. IT PORTRAYS ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF MUSIC THAT THE BAND HAVE BECOME RENOWNED FOR. SINESTAR LOVE THE WAY THAT THE LIVE FEEL HAS BEEN RETAINED IN THE RECORDING. THE EP VERSION OF THE SONG WAS REMIXED/REMASTERED BY NONE OTHER THAN RICHARD SILVERTHORN OF MESH. RICHARD AND THE MESH GUYS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE OF SINESTAR.
SINESTAR'S HOPE AND PREY EP CONTAINS THREE TRACKS INCLUDING "RISE AND FALL". THE TRACK WAS RECORDED FAIRLY EARLY IN SINESTARS LIFE BUT REALLY DEMONSTRATES THE TEMPLATE THAT SHOWS THE BANDS ABILITY TO REACH ACROSS GENRES. THE BEAUTIFUL FACE ON THE FRONT OF THE EP IS THAT OF SARAH WILLIAMS, A UK MODEL WHO ALSO HAD A ROLE IN THE MAKING OF THE BANDS FIRST OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR THE "I AM THE RAIN" SINGLE.
BUTTERFLIES, TAKEN FROM THE BANDS DEBUT ALBUM SINGULARIS. THE BALAD SHOWS THE SOFTER SIDE TO SINESTARS SONGWRITING. THIS TRACK WAS BORN WHEN IAIN AND THE BAND WERE GETTING READY SUPPORT HEAVEN 17 AT BAS FESTIVAL IN 2013. WHILE IAIN WAS WAITING FOR JAMES TO FINISH IN THE HOTEL ROOM SHOWER, HE PICKED UP HIS ELECTRIC GUITAR AND THE SONG WAS BORN. IAIN WOULD LIKE IT PUT ON RECORD THAT JAMES BEING IN THE SHOWER IS AT NO TIME BEEN AN INSPIRATION FOR SONGWRITING !!!!
