Acclaimed Glam/Punk Rockers Starbenders Announce Juicy New Single “Cherry Wine”

Starbenders are a rock-n-roll dream come true for every hard luck dreamer occupying this third stone from the sun. The Atlanta-born glam/punk rockers have been trailblazing since 2013, with over two dozen releases under their studded belts. Now the band has released “Cherry Wine” via Sumerian Records, from their upcoming album ‘Take Back The Night' out on September 22.

‘Take Back The Night' was born in the wake of the band’s most challenging obstacles to date. From life threatening necrotizing bacterial pneumonia to addiction to two years of the world in limbo, it felt like the punches kept coming and coming. The band made a conscious decision that they were going to practice radical acceptance and stick together no matter what. The frustration and worries we choked down on the daily were transmuted into the compositions and sounds of the new record. All the triumph over serious obstacles made the rocket fuel that propelled their most cohesive and aggressive record ever.

“Singer/songwriter Kimi Shelter is the love child Johnny Thunders and Joan Jett should have had, raised with an impeccable education from Blondie Elementary School, Def Leppard High, Bowie College, and a Ph.D from Siouxie Sioux University in Fuck All Y’all. Aaron Lecesne brings ripping bass lines, vivid musicality, fashionista chic, and lightning rod stage energy. Kriss Tokaji is the literal embodiment of a Guitar Adonis whose fretboard mastery easily places him at the pinnacle of today’s young guns, a legend in the making. Then we have Emily Moon, the siren behind the drums, channeling her spiritual father (and namesake), Keith Moon, in a gorgeous tornado of sound and fury. This band has toured the world with everyone from Alice In Chains to Palaye Royale, destroying the entire house every time. They’ve issued twenty-six releases in eight years - singles, EPs, and LPs, including their 2020 full-length, Love Potion s, for Sumerian Records. Another album’s worth of new material is currently awaiting release. With a work ethic as relentless as their fabulous vision, there is much more magic yet to come” - William DuVall (Alice In Chains)

Kimi Shelter states “Put your lips to the velvet elixir that is ‘ Cherry Wine ’. I wrote this as a fairy tale. Once we take a drink, we find ourselves in a land of dreams, nightmares and fuzzy guitars. I hope you can feel the cold, mossy forest floor beneath your feet while listening".
