About Me

Venturing into a unique soundscape, the Captain Starr sound can best be described as a blend of hard rock and deep groove elements, coupled with melodic vocal hooks. This 4-piece outfit was formed in mid-2004 by guitarist/vocalist Jonny Strides. Numerous lineup changes occurred, but solidarity was finally found in mid 2007 with bassist, Phat Phingers, and drummer, Matt "The Rabid Beast" Durante. Captain Starr has been laying down the goodness ever since.
Released in 2006, the Captain Starr EP includes an eclectic mix of tunes, ranging from the gut-punching sound of Broken Throne to the sexy funkiness of Who’s da man? Despite the stylistic differences of the songs, the common thread remains the same tight drumming, big league bass lines, down the hatch guitar work, and commanding vocals.
The Captain Starr live show involves an energetic stage performance, with extremely tight syncopation, fancy footwork, and musicality that rocks the faces of unsuspecting audience members. Check it out if you wan to get your face rocked off... Captain Starr style.
