Stars are still promoting last year's In Our Bedroom After The War, which means the Canadian quintet will soon embark on a new tour. The group, self-described purveyors of "melodramatic popular song," will visit the U.S. this fall for a few weeks' worth of dates.... read more

Stars' high-wire brand of melodramatic indie pop effectively obliterates any middle ground when it comes to evaluating their stage show. This past Saturday, myself and another Paste staffer saw the same Stars performance at Atlanta's Variety Playhouse and came away with rather divergent opinions on the matter.

Found in: Music, NewsStars release Bedroom, announce tour
Apparent “new media” enthusiasts Stars have announced their fall tour schedule – places to promote In the Bedroom After the War, which just made its digital debut four days after completion and more than two months before disc, paper and plastic availability (Sept. 25). “We believe that the line between the media and the public is now completely grey,” states the Canadian band’s official website. “What is the difference between a writer for a big glossy music magazine and a student writing about their favourite bands on their blog?” The Arts & Crafts label hopes the move will curb piracy,... read more
