THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Hailing from metro Detroit, L.A. and Brazil by way of Sydney, Nico Brunstein (bottoms), Sam Slocum (vocals), Skyler Knapp (guitar), Laila Wayans (drums) and Nando Dale (guitar) have positioned at the glimmering rotten center of today’s rock ’n’ roll. Each member so separately are, it must be assumed that such a diverse and gang were unlikely brought drawn together in their first year of university by nothing of serendipitous fortune and a shared, waggish sense of humor.
Praised as one of N.Y.C.’s brightest new guitar bands, Been Stellar’s melodic shoegaze and towering dream-pop have only continued to grow and evolve.
The world of Scream From New York, NY is beautifully cohesive and grungy, nostalgic yet modern — the true brainchild of a band with such a vision, alongside eclectically artlaborators who help bring that vision to life.
Been Stellar have toured with Beabadoobee, Fontaines D.C., Interpol, Shame and more, including performances at SXSW and The Great Escape. They have already graced multiple covers and playlists, earned plenty of love from radio, and placed two songs on the Apple TV series City on Fire.”
