The Band


About us


“To fans, contemporaries and critics, STARTER are the sound of inner-city indie.

With a fierce combination of determination and rare, raw talent, this exceptional four-piece have become something of a self-managed phenomenon; Arranging online single releases, winning over countless critics and supporting names from the original indie ilk including Rick Buckler from The Jam and the Stone Roses Experience.

This Lincoln-based band are coming to the end of their first full year together in their current line-up, having spent 2007 playing the best venues in their home city (including the nation’s finest new venue, The Engine Shed) and using their unrivalled sound to reach new fans in new cities, towns, villages, hamlets, caves and hovels. And now with the pre-Christmas release of their new single - the excellently assured “Falling From These Eyes” - 2008 is set to be a significant year and truly see Starter become a recognisable name and sound among individual fans and industry boardrooms.

The combined dynamism, professionalism and genialism of front man Eddie, guitarist Rob, bassist Lee and drummer Mike is undeniably awesome – they are local lads done good, with more good yet to do.

And now for their sound – taking the very best from an influential list, upon which sit The Stereophonics, The Stone Roses, The Libertines, The Charlatans and adding something secret, Starter know a good tune. Their melodies are sublime, their bass lines faultless, the contained lyricism accessible and inspired and the beats finely executed. They don’t have a devoted fan base and over 30,000 MySpace hits for nothing! They are, quite simply, a band who take their writing, their tunes and their performances seriously without taking themselves at all seriously. All the while, they inspire critics nationwide to comment like they’ve been bribed!” (Katrina Pierce)


'Falling From These Eyes’ will be released through Eden Records via all major and independent download websites, including iTunes, HMV Digital and 7Digital, on Monday the 10th of December 2007.
