Artist Spotlight: Stella

Hey everyone!

Starting off this Tuesday with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we make a trek down to the Buckeye state and head to Columbus, OH where we stumble across the sounds of Stella. The group consists of Lauri Reponen on traps and drums, Charlie Manion on bass, and Kevin Hall on guitar and lead vocals. The group has a fuzzy, dirty as hell garage rock feel kind of similar in vein to The Strokes and The Vines and have a distinct musical component to them that is raw, original, and unlike any other upstart band currently out there today. It's always refreshing to see and hear a band that is willing to take risks and not adhere to the status quo that other groups sometime cave in to pressure from and end up sounding like other established acts firmly entrenched in the scene, but these guys know what they have to do to make a mark on their scene and all they have to do is be themselves and play their blend of music tailored made specifically for the masses. A great upstart band that seems ready for what is to come later on down the road. Some recommended tracks for you to check out from these guys include "Omega" and "Fast Guy".

For more information on Stella and if they're playing an upcoming show in your area sometime soon, mosey on over to their Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/stella614 The band is also present on BandCamp where you can listen to their EP "Vapid Rubs" and download it free of charge and check out the other collections at: stella.bandcamp.com
