BeatCrave Fav: Stars

If you’re looking for the perfect blend of pop melodies, indie rock, and carefully crafted orchestrations that sound like they should be played by more than five people, you can stop your search. There is already a band that fits all these great qualities and this band goes by the name of Stars. They’ve taken a step beyond Arcade Fire’s sound by writing accessible pop hooks on top of intricate arrangements, and it’s about the greatest thing ever for soothing ears and and pumping up personal adventures.

Stars is a band that writes eloquent but empathetic lyrics that make everyone’s life stories seem like an epic. Songs such as “The Night Stars Here” and “Take Me to the Riot” are our ordinary incidents turned into magnificent tales with music videos that are just as good! Check them out in our BeatCrave Fav series below, and vote for them in Friday’s poll!
