Let me check something with you first…
Do you like rock?
Do you like 80s synth-rock songs?
Do you like sports?
If you’re like me, then you would have answered yes to all of the above and will fall hard in love with Satellite Train’s latest single “Superstar”.
The song takes everything awesome from rock, synth, and 80s energy and puts them perfectly together in a highly polished explosive package.
Satellite Train is an Australian super rock band basically, with professional members with huge musical careers…let’s get to know them!
Satellite Train has an extremely talented lineup of musicians from both Australian and American
Bands…
We have…
Michael Paynter of Icehouse
John Watson of James Reyne
John McCall of The Black Sorrows
Shane O’Mara and Randy Jacobs of Paul Kelly
Pasquale Monea of Stephen Cummings
Jamie Muhoberac of John Mayer
Chris Chaney of Miley Cyrus
Gregg Bissonette of Ringo Starr.
These are juggernauts in what they do.
When they thought of making a musical project together, they let their minds run wild, their potential reaching the skies and their labor of love unchecked.
Satellite Train is taking an unusual road to release their music…
They’re releasing two songs under 2 different albums, at the same time…for example, one song in this album and another song in the other album…
Yes, granted that both albums cater to different audiences…but they share the same minds and talents, so the will overlap here or there…and I think that’s the beauty of it…from an audience point of view, it’s awesome to get to hear and experience your favorite band from several points of views…I wish that would happen with more bands in the future.
The 2 albums we were talking about are…
“The Melbourne Sessions” with a raw attitude and feel to it.
“Spacewalk” with a more refined alt-pop mood to it.
…”Superstar” falls under “The Melbourne Sessions” album.
“Superstar” is an anthemic rock performance that transcends the concept of a normal rock song.
It passionately describes the energy and excitement of Aussie Rules Football.
The lyrics are both a commentary and a fan reaction to the love of the sport.
The energy of Aussie Rules Football is perfectly translated in the guitar riffs, drum beats, bass lines, synth lines…everything in the sport has been captured perfectly musically.
…and let’s not forget the vocal performance, it is a stadium-filling-worthy performance.
From the very beginning of the song…with its huge wall of sound electric guitar chord strum…you immediately know that this song is special…
…when the synth melody kicks in, it takes an already energetic song to another level.
The drum beat is energetic and steady, with fills and breaks literally disrupting the emotional energy into even higher levels of passion.
“Superstar” has an amazing vocal performance, an extremely tight and emotional musical performance and the highest quality of production.
“Superstar” will be your go-to song whenever you are in need of a boost of energy…instantly.
Highly recommended, go check Satellite Train right now, you’re in for a treat.
Satellite Train, we wish you all the best and we will be on the lookout for new releases.
Cheers!
