As well as performing at Download 2009, Manchester band Dear Superstar has recently been seen supporting the likes of Papa Roach, Buckcherry, and Bullet For My Valentine among others. This time they take to the second stage of Bristol’s O2 Academy beside hard rock band Heaven’s Basement.
They immediately came across as energetic and confident as they burst into their first song. The crowd seemed at first bemused but certainly appreciative of their good sound.

There is an obvious 80s rock metal influence that reminds me distinctly of the Mötley Crüe and Skid Row era, combined with a heavier more modern edge that helps appeal more to the modern fan base.
They played half a dozen or so tracks of their own material, before announcing, “This is a song about a chick with a dick” and giving us a hard rock rendition of The Kinks’ ‘Lola’.

Dear Superstar are a talented, enthusiastic band, a great example of the genre that is the fusion of these old and new styles and in my opinion, as good as the band they were supporting.
