ASTRO

Overflowing with the kind of uplifting melodies that glide over your ears and into the smiley part of your brain, Astro’s debut recording is testament to the power of a beautifully written pop song: a power that tickles you from the base of your spine to the fuzzy hairs on the back of your neck, burrowing itself in forever.

Draped in this elegant simplicity, the music of Astro is as fit for a daydream as their name - armed with the power and imagination of songs that explore both fantasy and reality – pushed high into the ether with the unmistakable familiarity of a soaring human voice. Songs that are written to service the good of the song, not the ego of its writers. Songs you’re already singing along with by the second chorus of the first listen.

Songs that have a touch of magic to them.

Driven and agile, Astro have worked hard and smart alike. From a home-base on the coast of Western Australia, the band have looked outwards at a bigger world. From scoring an NBC Universal song pitch, to finding themselves in the finals of the International Song Competition; Astro’s ambitions overseas are already proving to be worth the sweat.

Earning a Musicoz Award nomination as well as topping both MySpace’s Unsigned chart and triple j’s Unearthed chart; the tell-tale signs of Astro’s potential are mounting and becoming ever more clear. Their fan-base is growing and the band are uncovering an almost limitless commercial potential within their music.

And Astro feel like they should be on the radio, or etched into the soundtrack of a sweeping cinematic ending, because their music feels suitably grand. So from the shore of the Indian Ocean, Astro are looking towards an endless horizon, ready to share their music with the world and ready to make their mark upon it.

This is Astro’s first step, and they are taking it boldly. Head First.
