With their explosive stage show, their uncompromising confidence, and a sound described as "Journey meets Avenged Sevenfold", this 5 piece rock act from Johnson City, TN has been winning over audiences from Mississippi to Michigan. Produced by former Creed bassist, Brett Hestla (Dark New Day, Framing Hanley, Tantric), Star City Meltdown’s debut album Stick in the Eye (2009) was an impressive start to what is shaping up to be an energetic adventure into rock history. The album and following tour with Saliva gained the band a rabid underground fan base, and spurred independent sales beyond 2,500 copies from live shows alone.

2011 took Star City Meltdown back to Florida and into Brett Hestla's studio once again to record their sophomore full-length, album tentatively named Razorblades & Handgrenades. The album and work ethic of the band drew the interest of Neil Sheehan, CEO of Standby Records (Black Veil Brides, Modern Day Escape), and he immediately inked them to a record deal. Razorblades & Handgrenades has a release date for early 2012, with the first single "Here's To Us" due to hit radio nationwide in November 2011. Star City Meltdown can be found touring with the likes of Art of Dying, Saving Abel, Crossfade, and Korn for the remainder of the year and well into 2012.
