Editorial review
The Mighty Stars are another in a long line of U.K. groups that bash out simple garage-punk-pop songs with unabashed charm and can-do spirit. Starting with the early Beatles and working through the Billy Childish bands, this simple approach to rock & roll has produced many great songs and albums. The Mighty Stars haven't done either, but their The Mighty Stars Are Go! EP is a pretty decent attempt. Pleasantly energetic, moderately tuneful, and lo-fi but not noisy, the five songs here won't win any points for originality but won't make you want to throw the disc into the nearest trash bin either. Best of the lot are the Comet Gain-sounding "Go!" and the excessively punctuated "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!," which is a sweet doo wop-flavored ballad. The kids in the Mighty Stars have their hearts in the right place and they have potential; whether you need this or not depends on the level of your fanaticism toward primitive British pop & roll. ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Here's what the press has to say about The Mighty Stars:
Press:
"The EP has a fine set of melodies and guitars, and in one case Let's Play even has a Gold Blade-style call-response over its chunky guitars. All in all a nice diversion from the angst ridden indierock of late, as this is a mighty damn fine sunny day soundtrack." -- ireallylovemusic.co.uk
Sometimes big things come in small packages, and this 5 song EP from Bristol, England's Mighty Stars is a prime example. This is pure garage punk, with a righteous nod to the mods of the late '60s and early '70s. There is just the right touch of energized pop, keeping the songs catchy and bright while maintaining an air of cool aggression.
They start off the EP with the bouncing Small Wonder, which is simple but smartly done. They jump right into Let's Play in full punk mode, only to go a little softer with the jangling guitars of Suzanne.
