This Frozen Star sound like the past and the future having loud, unapologetic sex. Possibly unprotected too, but we’ll keep that between them and the night for the moment. As for the two guilty parties, they’ll need to wait a few nervous months to find out the full impact of their actions.

This Frozen Star was initially a four-man skeleton assembled from the bones of several dead indie projects in early 2006. They have spent the best part of six months fleshing out the details and becoming a real band. During that time This Frozen Star rehearsed and recorded a self-titled debut EP at Airlock Studios, which they recently released. They have also played enough shows to be able to put in a reliably electrifying live performance.

Most recently they have been playing modest but respectable local indie music venues such as the Alley and the Living Room.

Songs are inspired by predictable things such as doomed and frustrated love, as well as less predictable things like franchise steakhouses and electric grandmothers. They are also inspired on (usually) separate occasions by whiskey, gin and red wine.

The results: Nervous rock spliced together with delicate beauty. Psychedelic postcards from the darker side of midnight. Intergalactic gunslingers kicking ass and taking names.

They say five listens are worth 1000 stupid descriptions.
