STAR FUCKING HIPSTERS Never Rest in Peace FORMAT: CD/LP LABEL: Alternative Tentacles RELEASE DATE: May 3, 2010 UK TOUR APRIL 27th LONDON - PURPLE TURTLE 28th MANCHESTER - STAR & GARTER 29th NEWCASTLE - DOG & PARROT 30th GLASGOW - CAPITOL MAY 1st DONCASTER - LEOPARD 2nd DERBY - OLD BELL Star Fucking Hipsters is a smoking-hot super group featuring Sturg "Stza" Crack (Leftover Crack, Choking Victim), Frank Piegaro (Degenerics), and Nico de Gallo (Casa de Chihuahua), with members from Ensign, Big Attack!, Awkward Thought, and Aloke along for the ride. Following their 2008 Fat Wreck Chords debut, the band has returned for a much fiercer second round of sonic glory! Never Rest in Peace is even crustier, combining melodic punk and metal with the token ska tune (featuring a guest appearance from Citizen Fish and Subhumans personnel). The album is the result of a year of star-fucking live shows, writing, and off-the-map creativity from central Hipster Stza. These tunes display a sharper edge to his rock-solid songwriting, with a couple of tracks that border on crustcore- style metal. Recorded off the clock and in record time by up-and-coming production wizard Ryan D. Jones (almost entirely in the band members' bedrooms at the world-famous C-Squat on New York's Lower East Side), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Beastie Boys, Metallica, Ramones, Rancid, Nirvana, Slayer), Never Rest in Peace leaps out of the stereo and clubs your not-so-friendly neighbourhood cop with blunt anthems of rebellion and revolution. This is the best-sounding record Stza's done since Choking Victim's classic No Gods / No Managers. In addition to the songwriting chops, Star Fucking Hipsters' new record includes cameos from Dick Lucas, Jasper Pattison (both of Citizen Fish / Culture Shock), and Bryan Kienlen (Bouncing Souls). It features art by famed DIY artists Fly (PEOPs, Dog Dayz) and Paul Barron. The band has performed across the US and UK, and will co headline an upcoming November 2009 West Coast tour with Citizen Fish that will include Alternative Tentacles' 30th Anniversary Festival. 2010 promises much more of the same from these starfucking road-warriors. Leftover Crack Fuck World Trade (VIRUS320), Citizen Fish / Leftover Crack Split (VIRUS373) features current and former members of Leftover Crack, Choking Victim and Degenerics, plus guest appearances from Subhumans, Culture Shock, and Bouncing Souls personnel.
