About Me


The Bio
Over the course of a decade and several releases, Stellarscope has developed a sound architecture that is constantly evolving. Formed in the mid-90's, Stellarscope has the rare ability to combine quality space-pop and sonically charged experimentation.

Influenced by music ranging from classic rock, progressive rock, punk rock, psychedelic rock to shoegaze, modern rock, and alternative; they have an innate ability to create textured soundscapes that border on the psychedelic with emphasis in songwriting and expansion.

They have consistently played the East Coast of the USA & Canada for many years and have released several full-lengths, EPs, and they have also participate in various world wide compilations and tribute albums.

Reviews:

    Swirly, space-rock sounds from the folks behind the Philadelphia PopNoise festival.- Philadelphia City Paper A psychedelic jewel... - SouthCoast PR (Puerto Rico) Overall this album (Living under the Radar) is a great sounding album and definitely you will want to buy this if you are into Shoegaze, Psychedelic, Alternative, Rock, space pop, noise, post rock, experimental... the list could go on... go out and buy this great album!- Raised on Indie (USA) Psychedelic soundscapes for the head.- Mars Needs Guitars (USA) Stellarscope takes a giant leap forward in sonic exploration and songwriting, and in the end create a compelling musical experience-Brent Diaz Somewhere Cold Magazine- (Canada). ...the effect of sticking your head out of the car window at about 90 miles an hour whilst drunk on the freedom of youth.-RP Shmat Records (USA) Another example of why the shoegazing scene is alive and as well as ever. -Leonards Lair (UK) Stellarscope play space pop driven slowly forward by bass and drums as the guitars, vocals, and space violin build a massive wall of chaotic yet tranquillizing noise. -Lee Kilcrease Delusions of Adequacy (USA) drenching their somnambulistic drones with effects that sound like they've set the controls for the heart of the sun. -Suzie Q- Logo Magazine (UK) Philadelphia spacey rock trio, Stellarscope, make some fine modern psychedelia that's 100% old school with no annoying trendy fillers added.- -Gail Worley Starpolish (USA) the soundtrack to a breezy, lazy summer day with stars in your hair. For a three piece, these cats surely make a lot of sweet noise.-Kevin Kapala Stoner Rock Chick (USA) Truly one breath of fresh air in the panorama rock clones Stillborn Magazine (Italy)
