Aramis Jones (bass/vocals) and Cooper Fanning (drums) are Starfighter. The duo recently released Photo of a Black Hole EP. They make music that is made for small punk clubs like the now defunct CBGB to my ears.
Starfighter is not the first to have a distorted bass and drums as their main arsenal. Death From Above 1979 and Lighting Bolt and are a couple of the bands that come to mind. The former is the stronger equivalent when listening to their music.
The band rips it up with “Take Control.” They are very in the pocket but the song also sounds loose and has a great groove. Jones might be at his best here vocally. His fast vocal delivery is implemented when needed and also lets the music breathe. Suffice it to say I was on board after the first song.
They continue with that energy on “If We Break It, Then We'll Take It.” It’s a little darker than the opener but still has plenty of energy. “I Can't Believe” is arguably the most single worthy song. It has a catchy vocal melody and drumbeat that made me think of “We Will Rock You” by Queen.
They get more fuzzy with the grunge inspired “Nosferatu” while they close with “Worms” where the drummer goes a little apeshit in a good way. There was a little more aggression on this song in a number of ways including the vocals.
Photo of a Black Hole is a no frills, bare bones EP. I’m sure these guys put on one hell of a live show. In fact, after spending so much time with this EP I felt like I was listening to a short set in a small club. This is visceral, intense music. Take a listen. - Divide and Conquer
