STAR CIRCUS release their video for new single 'Two Odds Make An Even', out now, new album 'From The Wreckage' due out on 13th June on Renaissance Records
In the lead up to the release of new album 'From The Wreckage' on 13th June, STAR CIRCUS release their stunning new single and video 'Two Odds Make An Even'. This gorgeous track is simply a showcase of the sheer talent this band possesses.
'From The Wreckage' sees the band take a huge step forward, pushing boundaries 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 due for release on 13th June 2025, and will be 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”
