2011 News

We now have "The Great Destroyer" b/w "Too Drunk to Dream" on 7" vinyl for sale at our shows. Buy in limited addition screen-printed, hand-numbered. (with a card for FREE download included w/your vinyl purchase).

If you want the MP3 Download only of both songs, visit our Amazon.com store.

The Shepherd Express says: "The Great Destroyer soaks in piss-and-vinegar vengeance as it manages a Big Star reference and a couple of sparkly hooks that would do Pavement proud . The Magnetic Fields remake on the B-side finds Certain Stars approximating the fun rage of Cracker, and that's not a bad thing."

Here's what the Onion's AV Club had to say about the single: "If this is a sneak peek of what’s in store for Certain Stars’ next full-length, the group is headed in the right direction."

Here is what they're saying about "Wired for Sound:"

"...something tells me these Wisconsin hopefuls have the potential to open up that proverbial can of kick-ass".
The Big Takeover, Spring 2008

"This is a great rock CD with good songs, period.  Certain Stars excel by not taking themselves too seriously while still being able to rock out . . . just good songs, unique personality, and an overall fun CD."
The Songcast

"Certain Stars has made an album I can throw on in my car and just rock out to. It’s melodic pop in the vain of Big Star - very high energy, very simple, very driving and upbeat. It’s packed to the brim with crunchy guitars and chugging bass lines designed to get you dancing at a bar, or while cruising down the highway in June."
Matt Cohen- Delusions of Adequacy
