Starscream! (And I don’t mean the Transformer)

When not enjoying a meal at Pakistan Tea House, Damon Hardjowirogo and George Stroud join forces to create music as Starscream. With an extremely diverse set of influences including bands such as Mono, The Octopus Project and Iron Maiden, Starscream create drawn out compositions that tend to be both soothing and destructive, kind of like when a distant white dwarf explodes.  Since first founded in 2007, Starscream has put forth three releases; their most recent, Future, and It Doesn’t Work came out on 8bitpeoples in June of 2009. The following summer the band went on to support the album with a tour that included dates in the United Kingdom, Canada, and a week long North American excursion with best friends Anamanaguchi.  So automatically you should pick up the similarities to Anamanaguchi and funny enough these guys are signed by a label group called 8bitpeoples.  I am not too big of a fan of 8-bit unless it is done well.   The catchy 8bit sounds like something you would hear from the movie Scott Pilgrim which is a great movie if you haven’t seen it.  Enjoy this great track!
