About Me

Originally formed back in early 2001 under a different name, this alternative hard rock group has gone through many stages of transformation to end up with it’s current line-up.
The band first started off as a small project by some secondary school friends, and now showcases their original sound and music at pubs and gigs around the country.
After mulling about in uninspired miasma (read: exams, NS, etc), the band was revitalised in the second half of 2005, with a number of reshufflings and line-up changes which proved epiphanic. Led by the dynamic and signature vocals of frontman jun, Blackstar is playing and rocking hard to get YOUR attention.
Blackstar is all about saying the things others won't. A unique blend of metal, hard rock and alternative that is often confrontational and politically incorrect, the boys will take you to a place where no other band can. Scream it out, shake it out, let your hair down and get ready for a loud, in-your-face, over the top rock out experience.
Come on, and join the Blackstar militia, it's time to stick it to the Man!
