There are (or were, at some point) at least three different acts called Stardust. 1. Stardust was a French house band. 2. Stardust was a short-lived British pop/rock band of the early 1970s. 3. Stardust is an AOR band founded in 2015 by Akos Horvath. 4. Stardust is an alias for New Jersey, United States-based garage house act Blaze. 5. Stardust, a Hungarian melodic rock/AOR band --==--.. 1. Stardust was a French house supergroup. Formed in Paris, France, it was a one-time musical collaboration consisting of producers Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, Alan Braxe and vocalist Benjamin Diamond. The short-lived group released the popular club track titled "Music Sounds Better with You" in 1998. 2. Stardust was a short-lived English pop/rock outfit of the 1970s. Formed in August 1973 in St. Alban's by frontman Jeff Cloves (and also featuring guitarist Pete Sutton) Stardust released a couple of Cloves-penned tunes in the month of the band's formation: 'Goldie Oldie Show' b/w 'I Don't Care'. Jeff Cloves was also a poet and a music journalist. 5. Stardust, a Hungarian melodic rock/AOR band, released their much anticipated debut full-length, "Highway To Heartbreak" in 2020. One of the hottest new AOR bands to come out of the underground European scene, Stardust's independently released self-titled debut EP stirred up quite a buzz in the underground melodic rock scene. The band were put to the attention of Frontiers' staff during one of the Frontiers Rock Festivals. Impressed with the band's melodic rock stylings on their debut EP, Frontiers moved swiftly to sign the band to the roster. Of the band's sound, vocalist Adam Stewart says, "We love Def Leppard, Winger, Journey and all the 80's stuff..So, we took those influences and mixed it in with our own 'Stardust' way of doing things." Of notable mention is that none other than the mighty Mark Spiro (Bad English, House of Lords, Giant) and Swedish guitar hero Tommy Denander helped the guys with songwriting and production for their debut album. "One day I got a note from Mark Spiro! He wrote, 'Hey man, I found a good song that you would really love, what do you think?' I immediately listened to the song and it blew my mind! '2nd Hand Love' is a typical Spiro song with a magical atmosphere and a catchy chorus. I jumped right on it and made a new, modern kinda musical arrangement for the song. A riff centered verse, a bluesy chorus and a brand new intro part," explains Stewart of first single, '2nd Hand Love'. “Our first EP got really good feedback from the fans, not only from Hungary, but from around the world,” says Stewart. “I am certain that our debut album will be enjoyed by even more melodic rock fans thanks to our new cooperation with Frontiers. Stardust plays AOR/Melodic Rock with catchy melodies and lyrics, so Frontiers is truly a perfect home for us!" Founded by two friends, Adam Stewart (lead vocals) and Tim Keeley (drums) in 2015, the band is rounded out by Facey (lead guitar and vocals), Dave Legrand (keyboard), and Ben Martin (bass and vocals). The group's style is an amalgam of the classic melodic hard rock and AOR genres, with hooky choruses, beautiful keyboards, vocal harmonies, and loud guitars in the style of their favorite mid-80's bands, bringing to life this well beloved music in the 21st century. Stardust is the latest in a long line of amazing AOR/Melodic Rock signings for the label, so be sure to stay tuned as they are truly a rising star in the melodic rock scene.
