STARK is not your typical “girl-fronted” band. The New York City-based hard rock trio is led by the fierce singer/bassist Lani Ford who has received ASCAPlus songwriting awards for each of the past 5 years.

The CDs Put It To Your Head and The Curse are available on cdbaby and itunes. With the mighty shredder Joe Hogan on guitar and pulling engineering duties, the 3rd album, Race To The Floor was recorded analog like the others and is definitely the heaviest CD yet. A total DIY project, drummer Eric Robel did the artwork and Lani Ford did just about everything else. STARK has played the NYC club scene and toured the US, the UK and Holland for over 7 years with different line-ups but with Lani always out front, busting up the norm and lifting hearts with her intelligent, harsh, honest, funny lyrics and huge voice.
