Heal Over Time<\/p>\n<p>Dead Stars have been compared to everyone from Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth to Pavement and Teenage Fanclub. There are definitely strong similarities to early 90&#8217;s era Teenage Fan Club and Dinosaur Jr. Dead Stars embraces the best parts of a former era while keeping things sleek and modern, with songs packed with melodies and big choruses.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve previously shared stages with bands like Fucked Up, Bear Hands, and White Fence, and have some hometown shows coming up this spring &#8211; see dates below.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Live dates<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>4\/5 &#8211; Jersey City, NJ @ The Lamp Post (w\/ Overlake)<br \/>\n4\/26 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY @ Union Pool (w\/ Heliotropes, Mean Creek)<br \/>\n5\/6 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY @ Cameo Gallery (w\/ Slothrust)<br \/>\n5\/17 &#8211; New York, NY @ Cake Shop (w\/ The Pharmacy, Shark?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about Dead Stars?<\/strong> Dead Stars was formed in 2009 by Jeff Moore (guitar, vocals), his cousin Jaye Moore (drums) and John Watterberg (bass). This Brooklyn, NY three piece came together to create their own brand of indie pop, with fuzzed out guitars, hook laden riffs and melodic sensibilities. During the first few years the band self released three EP\u2019s before gaining the attention of local label Uninhabitable Mansions, who released 2013\u2032s five song \u2018High Gain\u2019 EP. Building on the positive response of the record, Dead Stars went back into the studio to record their first full length &#8216;Slumber&#8217;. After hearing the album, the band was signed by Old Flame Records who will be releasing the record in June of 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Brooklyn trio Dead Stars has announced their new LP, &#8216;Slumber,&#8217; will be out on June 17th via Old Flame Records, which is the follow-up to <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=7939\" title=\"Dead Stars announce new album\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7945,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,30],"tags":[73,2258,2259,2260],"class_list":["post-7939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","tag-album","tag-dead-stars","tag-slumber","tag-someone-else"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dead-stars.jpg?fit=650%2C433","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-243","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":26580,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=26580","url_meta":{"origin":7939,"position":0},"title":"Dead Stars share new single &#8216;Smarter&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"August 23, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Dead Stars will release their new LP, 'Perfect Patterns', on September 1st.
