“Possessing an eclectic range of influences stretching from classic hard rock, through AOR, 80s Glam Metal, 90s American power pop... these fuse faultlessly to form a sound that is stacked full of infectious melodies, grandiose vocal and instrumental harmonies plus colossally catchy choruses” - Sophie James

ABOUT STAR CIRCUS
Star Circus are a London-based rock band led by Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia Young, influenced by a variety of artists including Queen, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick and Def Leppard.
The band was formed in 2019 by frontman Dave, who's songwriting caught the attention of radio legend Tony Wilson. The pair worked together on creating the debut album 'Separate Sides', which came out in December 2022 to an overwhelmingly positive critical response.
“Superb, infectious fun. It's absolutely chock-full of melodies that earworm their way into your head, set up camp and refuse to move out again” Alex Holmes - Powerplay Magazine
Following the album release and several UK tours supporting a host of international acts and a headline show at the legendary Camden Underworld, the Star Circus lineup has now become a collaborative band-project, currently working towards releasing their sophomore album in early 2025.
“With their superb quality guitar solos and flawless performance, they pack a punch” Dawn Osborne - Rocktopia
Previous single Gina In A Bottle, the first release since their debut album, displayed a heavier, more modern sound, while still remaining true to their 80s and 90s rock influences and new release Chained To You follows the same vein, making it ideal for fans of the likes of Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy, Scorpions, Saxon and Fleetwood Mac.
‘Chained To You’ releases on all major music streaming platforms on Friday 5th July.
“Their Incredibly slick performance with catchy hooks, riffs and lashings of fun really steals the show” Gary Trueman - Devolution
