From Substream Music Press: July 2009

"For one night they were stars."
This is the newspaper headline that the up-and-coming band They Were Stars took their name from. As five friends from Dallas, Texas, They Were Stars has a distinct and explosive sound to lend to the rock-pop scene. They are handing it out, of course, with what they call "good intentions."
"With all the music out there now, I think listeners have become a little overwhelmed, a little oversaturated," lead singer Collin Cable said. "We are just trying to share our music, but with good intentions."

In this sharing process, They Were Stars recently released their first full-length album, Own Your Atoms. "We initially wanted to make a pop record based on our favorites, but harnessed it in and made it relevant now," bassist Graham Smith told Substream. "We wanted to culturally modernize it." And they have done just that. Own Your Atoms, which originally started as an EP but evolved into a full-length album because they did it over such an extended period of time, is a refreshing new taste of pop that is sure to delight your taste buds and excite your musical palate.

They Were Stars is redefining what is considered power-pop with their own "pretty intense" version. "We went after the very music we enjoy," Cable said. And with the recent addition of guitarist/singer Mitch Lazorko, look for They Were Stars to continue to impress you with a digital release of their new, unannounced project. "We are just working on booking shows right now and trying to get out to California," Smith said. "But we are going to try to release a digital CD soon."

With good intentions and great music, I'm sure you will become an instant fan of They Were Stars, and they promise to treat you right.
