Man Against Stars

Xanbars crash cars. fuck you, we kill rock stars

About Me

Man Against Stars is a 3-piece from Austin, Tx. we like to experiment and write unique rock derived from our vast array of influences of artisans of all genres. we all three rotate from instrument to instrument to fill the various roles for each song. 3 guitarists, 3 drummers, 3 bass players, 3 songwriters - add some piano, some noise and a Fun Machine and the rock is endless. we do not adhere to any one style or sound or limitation. we make music that moves us for one reason or another. we are only concerned with valid presentable art, not with becoming the next clone sensation on the market. so here we will remain carrying on against gravity and the random chaos of the stars above.
