Dear Superstar – Confessions Of A Twisted Mind

I first heard this band just over a year ago when I heard their ‘Submission Of Your Soul’ EP, and was extremely impressed with what the band had to offer. By some stroke of a miracle, the band are still unsigned, and so have self produced and financed this album, once again showing their intense talent and keen ear for a brilliant rock song. These self confessed sleaze rockers have here written an album that has all the intensity of the live setting captured on CD.

There are so many great tracks on display here, right from anthemic opener ‘Sunset Strip Suicide,’ to the colossal closer of ‘Little Devil.’ The band have your full attention from the offset, and as the album progresses seem to gather momentum and really come into their stride. By the time ‘Confessions Of A Twisted Mind’ kicks in, the band are really coming into their own and have carved out a perfect little niche for themselves. The opening riffs to this storming little number are epic and really show Dear Superstar to be an impressive band more than worthy of your time. They crash through this track with great vocal styling and awesome guitar licks that Motley Crue would be proud of.

Just when you think things can’t get any better, the band crack into the awesome duo of songs ‘What You Want’ and ‘Submission.’ Just when things are coming to an end and you’re expecting the album to wind down a bit, the band continues to impress and blast through another impressive pair of tracks. Both of these tracks have a hefty bite and of course the trademark Dear Superstar killer chords. The band just never fails to impress, taking every opportunity possible to blast out another display of ballsy sleaze rock n roll gold. Lyrically and musically, this band really do have something special going on and that is as clear as day.

‘Confessions Of A Twisted Mind’ is a testament to just what you can achieve if you really put your mind to it. Despite being an unsigned band, Dear Superstar have managed to produce and release a brilliant album which will surely be adored by all those that get the opportunity to hear it. I am certain that with such an amazing album behind them, this band can go on to achieve great things in the not too distant future. If they have ambition and drive to match their song writing ability then they will definitely hit the big time by the end of 2006, I know I said this about 2005 but for some strange reason the band have yet to make it massive but surely their talent can not go unnoticed for yet another year.
