Having worked with guitarist, singer and songwriter Rob Fleming and drummer James Sedge on the British band’s acclaimed debut , David Bowie’s most trusted musicians —Mike Garson (David Bowie) on piano, Earl Slick (David Bowie, John Lennon) on guitar, Mike Plati (David Bowie) on bass — have returned for The Afterglow, an album of powerful, insistent art rock, in which the spirit of adventurousness combines with a sense of classicism and purpose throughout. The Bowie alumni bring shades of their old boss with them — you might notice the odd reference, particularly from Garson — to an album that nonetheless belongs entirely to its own world. Joined this time round by The Webb Sisters (David Gilmour, Leonard Cohen) onbacking vocals, The Afterglow picks up where the first album left off while going further into the stratosphere. From the killer riff smashing open The Afterglow to the delicate piano balladry of Invincible, this is glam, art rock, hook-laden pop, even a touch of jazz, all held together by killer melodies and lyrical themes on life, love and remembering. The album is co-produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, The Who). Band Website: killerstarband.com "The kings of modern pop rock" - Music-News " Vibrant, finely crafted songs.
