Fresh from being named by
Classic Rock as one of their ‘Tracks of the Week’ for their
previous single, Scottish rock four-piece Estrella are back to make sure the new
year is as successful as their last. June 8th sees the release of the title
track from their upcoming 2nd album, ‘We Will Go On’, which will be
the second single from the album due on June
22nd.
Estrella add a refreshing new
feel to the rock genre yet they still remind us of the acts we all love, such as
Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Van Halen, AC/DC and Bon Jovi, and it’s little wonder
why this searing, unapologetic slice of top quality rock was selected as the
next release.
Recently announced to play
Download Festival 2015, the bands lead guitarist Luke Gunn commented:
“To say we are delighted is an understatement. We have to thank both Takeover at Download Festival and our loyal
#EstrellaWarriors who voted for us on the Download online poll for this amazing
opportunity!”
“They are an energetic, melodic band with fantastic
stage presence and I am sure they will rock the tent on the night." says
Download Festival’s Heather Gibb.

Some very talented veterans of the rock world have lent
their hands to the making of Estrella’s new album with production overseen by
Nick Brine (The Darkness, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis), while previous
single ‘Here I am’ was recorded at the infamous Rockfield Studios in
Wales - the very studios in which Queen recorded ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.
John T Sinclair (Uriah Heep, The Cult, Ozzy Osbourne) co-wrote and
co-produced the track. Professionals like these are highly sought after for
their time, and very picky about who they work with, which speaks volumes about
the talent on show in these four rockers from North of the
border.
The recordings are carefully calibrated to capture the
energy of their bristling live show, one which has seen them become darlings of
the festival circuit. It also secured an impressive end to an incredible 2014
when they were asked to tour with ex-Guns n’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke
in November, which followed on from a previous run supporting American rocker
and UK chart topper Robin Beck. Now May this year will see Estrella
provide main support for cult USA Band Enuff Z’Nuff on their 11
night European Tour across 5 different countries.
It all points to a huge 2015 for the band. With a
European Tour, major festival appearance, second
album due in June 2015 and fans of the band including Classic
Rock Magazine and XFM presenter and noted music tastemaker Jim
Gellatly along with veteran rock DJ Tom Russell there’s really no
telling how far Estrella’s gritty, bombastic take on classic rock can take
them.
