This Frozen Star

About Me

This Frozen Star play indie rock, but the story doesn't end there. Folk, blues, pop and psychedelia also make it into the mix, to create a rather nice effect indeed.Armed with a healthy disrespect for authority and a modest amount of cash, the group have recorded an EP and are finalising a debut album for release in 2009. The vibe: Nervous rock spliced with delicate beauty. Psychedelic postcards from the darker side of midnight. Intergalactic gunslingers kicking ass and taking names."When I listen to these guys, I imagine that I am on the open road riding on a motorcycle through the desert, looking at the landscape enjoying my surroundings." - BFR Magazine"This self-titled EP is a very cleverly-written, cohesive piece of Australian indie rock that recalls some of the greats." - Time Off
