About the artist

Big Star

BIG STAR may not have achieved mainstream success during their initial run in the 1970s, but make no mistake - this band is an absolute indie rock legend. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, BIG STAR, led by frontman Alex Chilton, carved out a niche for themselves with their unique blend of power pop and rock influences. Their debut album, '#1 Record', released in 1972, is considered by many to be a masterpiece of its genre. Tracks like 'Thirteen' and 'In the Street' showcase BIG STAR's knack for crafting catchy melodies and poignant lyrics, while Chilton's distinctive vocals add an extra layer of emotional depth to the music. Despite critical acclaim, BIG STAR struggled to find commercial success, with internal band tensions and label issues plaguing their career. However, their influence can be felt far and wide, with artists like R.E.M., The Replacements, and Wilco citing them as major inspirations. BIG STAR's second album, 'Radio City', released in 1974, further solidified their status as a cult favourite in the music world. Songs like 'September Gurls' and 'O My Soul' are prime examples of the band's ability to marry infectious hooks with introspective lyrics. Tragically, BIG STAR disbanded in 1974, but their music lives on as a testament to their undeniable talent and enduring legacy. With a sound that continues to inspire generations of musicians, BIG STAR's place in the pantheon of indie rock icons is firmly secured. So next time you're feeling nostalgic for the golden age of power pop, look no further than BIG STAR - the band that never quite got the recognition they deserved, but left an indelible mark on the music world nonetheless.
