Certain Stars puts the rock back in indie rock. Their melodic powerpop and high energy performances played with conviction set them apart from other bands in the genre.

Upcoming Shows, Fall 2010
Partnering with longtime friends, first time showmates, V Sparks- we'll hit up back to back Chicago/Milwaukee shows with this great Chicago Glam band, who really puts on a great live show! Check them out here.
2010 News! Recording at Howl Street Studios
Certain Stars has been recording with Shane Hochstetler at HOWL St. Studios in Milwaukee. Sessions in November 2009 and February 2010 find familiar live songs more rocking than ever ("Certain Gurls", "The Great Destroyer"). Brand new material is also being recorded, and sounds great-- we hope you enjoy the tracks as much as we do. More songs are being written, more sessions being booked, look for a late 2010 CD release. Until then...
Vinyl! Two tracks are being processed for a 7" vinyl release as we speak. Look for a Fall drop date for our first 7"single released in partnership with Cuba Libre Records.

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."
