STAR CIRCUS release critically acclaimed new album 'From The Wreckage', out now on Renaissance Records

CGCM Rock radio: "What a fabulous album. An album of SONGS, with melodies, vocal harmonies and memorable riffs as well. The flow is great as it weaves its way, they obviously didn’t throw them together, they positioned them (the songs) for the highs and lows emotionally of the melodies and lyrics"

MetalTalk: "The sound of Summer ’25? Quite possibly. Beyond that, it certainly merits inclusion when followers and commentators alike compile their Album of the Year lists. The performance of a lifetime, so far at any rate. The mind boggles as to where their musical odyssey will yet convey them."

Liverpool Sound & Vision: "...Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia create havoc and brilliance in equal measure, not content with taking down the smug and ineffectual, they rally all the cause of keeping the genre alive and relevant as we approach the new styled 30s in the distance, a decade which promises musical confusion and declared non-human authorship if we permit it. A cracking, thumping album from a grand pair working towards rock royalty."

Rockposer.com: "There’s no doubt that Star Circus have the ammunition. The song writing is of a very high standard, especially in the first half of the album. Slightly quirky, part hard rock, part power pop, but all infectious melodies, vocals and harmonies. Perfect ingredients."

'From The Wreckage' sees the band take a huge step forward, pushing boundries and themselves, and the end result is an absolutely storming rocker of an album that's guaranteed to delight fans and gain many more!

Dave comments on the new album:

"Feeling invigorated following the positive response to our first album and many national tours, we set aside the first half of 2024 to write and record our second album as a band. However, most of last year proved to be a challenging time for us. Cancellations, lineup and management issues plagued us, along with fear and disbelief at the state of the world in general.

As a consequence, 'From The Wreckage' is definitely a heavier, darker and more aggressive beast both lyrically and musically than it's predecessor. On the other hand there's definitely both light and shade, and a positive outlook depicted in the title; that we're coming back stronger than ever. First and foremost, we're really proud of all the songs, but it's also a landmark in our evolution from our little project into a fully-fledged rock n' roll animal!"

Star Circus are a London-based rock band led by Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia Young, influenced by classic rock artists including Queen, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, Def Leppard and Alice Cooper.

The band was formed in 2019 by frontman Dave, who's songwriting caught the attention of radio legend Tony Wilson. The pair worked together on creating the debut album 'Separate Sides' which Tony produced, and was released in December 2022 to an overwhelmingly positive critical response.

Following the album release and several UK tours supporting a host of international acts, the Star Circus lineup has now become a collaborative band-project, with other musicians contributing to the songwriting. As well as the added influences of other songwriters, the new album also features various accomplished guest guitarists including Tom Draper (ex Carcass, Spirit Adrift) and Ritchie Mohicano (Dobermann), and the notable addition of Sophie's vocals (including lead vocals on Masquerade). The band also landed a global distribution deal with the Arizona-based record label Renaissance Records. Their sophomore album "From The Wreckage" is out now and is available on all the popular streaming and download platforms, on CD and vinyl.

“Possessing an eclectic range of influences stretching from classic hard rock, through AOR, 80s Glam Metal, 90s American power pop... these fuse faultlessly to form a sound that is stacked full of infectious melodies, grandiose vocal and instrumental harmonies plus colossally catchy choruses” 
- Sophie James, METALTALK
