Indie power pop at its finest with musical nods to Superchunk and Guided by Voices.
Bio / Background
Started by Kyle Hernandez and brother Chris as the band Cudahy (and the Cudahys), they released the sonically diverse Millenia EP in 1998. Updating their sound and name in 2003, Certain Stars plays melodic indie rock influenced by bands such as Teenage Fanclub, Guided by Voices and Superchunk. With the addition of Greg Hein on drums and Chris Voss on guitar, the band became a dynamic live force, playing shows in its homestate of Wisconsin and Kyle's adopted hometown of Chicago.
The 2004 self-released debut "Times Like These Call for Tambourines" finds Certain Stars arriving with confidence and conviction. With contributions from three songwriters the band casts a wide net within the indie power pop framework, from the polished straight forward pop of "Everyone Now" and "Walk Away" to the more introspective lo-fi "Wild Consumption" and "Opposites Are the Same". The band does not imitate their influences as much as use them as a springboard for their own sound.
