Aster uses a simple pop-oriented approach to songwriting layered with lush piano, overdriven synthesizers, and ambient sounds that reach to the heavens above. Raspy and pristine vocal melodies combine with driving rhythms, deep guitar tones, and a wall of sound from the keys to produce a truly captivating sonic experience. The end result of this diverse montage of sound is a new breed of pop distortion, but with substance. It's all about writing innovative music that still creates feelings people can relate to. Using traditional logic, they searched for additional members to complete a "live lineup" for almost six months. Somewhere along the way they realized it was possible to remain a two-piece and still crank out as much, if not more, sound than any other live band. Using a standard issue pair of headphones and a synthesis of bass and guitar amplifiers, their sound becomes truly distinct and simultaneously addicting.

Great Discovery

Aster's EP has found a permanent home in my cd player. I first heard them on MYSPACE while looking for new artists. The songs are all unique and I highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of all of the mainstream stuff that we are constantly bombarded with. It's kind of hard to choose which track is my favorite since they all sound great. I can not wait until the release of their next album.

I first heard this group on XM radio's XMU station. I won't go into much detail, but I do want to say how much I enjoy listening to Aster. I contacted the band about west coast dates and their next release. They are taking some time to write some more tunes, so nothing to report for now. Thank you XM for giving new groups a platform!
