Anthemic SA rockers Starseed will soon be undertaking another UK tour, as far north as Glasgow and Edinburgh, west to Cardiff in Wales and taking their heavy rock across England including London, Leeds, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Ipswich, Derby. This UK based, but South African born, quintet is fired up and ready for an intense 2010. The tour starts on 25 February in Croydon.

Their debut album, ‘Peace Machine’ (released in late 2009), has already proved to be both a critical and commercial success, prompting XFM to reel the band in for a session as well as gaining the attention of UK festivals organisers for 2010.

With a sound that takes in the epic, melodic rock tendencies of the resurgent grunge scene (Pearl Jam to Alice In Chains) all the way through to the intelligent aggression and energy of hard rock stalwarts like Cancer Bats, Soil and Alexisonfire, Starseed offer up a sound as dynamically post-millennial as you could wish for.

‘We can’t wait,’ exhorts front man Russell Spence. ‘Last year was just amazing for us, and we are primed and ready for an incredible start to this new decade’.
