theSTART – theSTART (EP) a.k.a. Death Via Satellite

2002 New Black Recordings

5 Stars

This CD has been released through New Black Records as theSTART but was re-released later through Nitro Records as Death Via Satellite which includes the video for the 1234. Wikipedia says that the CD was released by Smallstone Records before Nitro but it is only credited as New Black Recordings on the CD.

theSTART are an alternative rock band with punk rock and new wave roots and on this six song EP they rock with fast paced guitars, throbbing bass and thundering drums but what stands out is the voice of Aimee Echo which could only be compared to an early Gwen Stefani. Aimee and the boys rip into their six song effort and leave you wanting for more. Death Via Sattelite, Big Shot and the 1234 are the biggest will leave you bouncing off the walls while Los Angelos, High Flyer and Trinity will set the tone a bit darker. This is a one of a kind band and they should not be missed.
