- about
- "Oh Absentstar, you’ve done it again. You’ve created the finest form of pop/rock and ingrained the most superb melodies and hooks in my head. The only thing crazier than your ability for writing a catchy tune is the fact that you haven’t dominated top forty radio, but all in due time I suppose. Where We Begin sounds like a touch up of their debut Sea Trials. Musically it’s not all that different, but sometimes much of the art out there just needs a little touching up to display its vibrant colors, and Where We Begin is glowing. It catches your attention upon first listen, and doesn’t let go." - Imagine Echoes

"Every once in a while you'll find a band like - Absentstar - that is able to pull off alt-pop without making you skip a track because it's too overblown or cringe when the 100th repeat of the chorus comes on. It's a fine line, but right now these boys are about the only ones walking it. If (Don't You Think) We Owe It To Ourselves is any indication of the sonic ride they'll be taking us on in July, this will be no kind of sophomore slump. While all the same essential elements are returning, the band feels tighter here than anywhere on Sea Trials. The lyrics are poignant, though they'll sure as hell stick in your head. God knows I've been singing it in the shower each and every day since I first took a gander." - Sell The Lie

"Another single track that has been making my play button finger itchy comes from Chicago's Absentstar. The song is called (Don't You Think) We Owe It To Ourselves and delivers an extremely polished, memorable slice of alternative , melodic rock. The rousing chorus, coupled with the subtley layered instrumentation, walks the narrow line between mainstream rock radio fare and the introspection of bands like Interpol and Travis and successfully avoids tumbling into either the generic tedium of the former or the sometimes depressing undertones of the latter." - Heavier Than Air
