There are plenty of bands under the radar that no one ever seems to find out about, even after 10+ album releases, countless vinyls, and a plethora of ep’s. The guys in Starflyer 59 keep churning out quality indie music, and while many seem to have missed the boat, they still manage to have an audience of fans dedicated to all things Starflyer. They recently announced a new album being mixed and mastered right now, for a release sooner than later. For more information on the new album entitled “Dial M”, check out the official Starflyer59 myspace page. If you’re not familiar with the Starflyer 59 catalog, may I suggest their 2 disc set, Easy Come, Easy Go , a worthwhile introduction of Starflyer 59’s past catalog. Otherwise, you’re going to be hard pressed to get into their music, as they have a HUGE amount of records out.
