Hour of the Star

emo, 90s emo, whiniest and most obscure band ever used as an excuse for pretentious hipsters to…, screamo, 90s… see all

Hour of the Star formed out of the ashes of the vegan, straight edge band Her Grey Earth. But unlike Her Grey Earth, Hour of the Star was built on the emo icons that came before them. Influenced by bands such as Indian Summer, Moss Icon, Current, Navio Forge, Native Nod and many others, the boys of Hour of the Star took that sound and feel and added their own spin to it. The screamo feel with a pop edge put Hour of the Star on the maps, a small dot only, but on the maps none the less. The band was short lived as Steve and Jaime opted to head off for greener pastures. Bryan, Jeff and Josh decided to call it quits with Bryan and Jeff going off to form a band with members of You and I/Instill and Unaswered. The Sebastian Coe never recaptured the same emotion and friendship that Hour of the Star did…

RIP

Love,
Bryan, Jeff, Josh, Jaime and Steve

The untitled songs are actually from a different band, Inkwell. Everyone just got it wrong and thought it was an HOTS demo. They were being silly.

I have to have my metal... I have to mosh, headbang, and crowdsurf... If I don't leave a pit bruised, bleeding, or exhausted, something is seriously wrong.

I don't hear the screamo feel with a pop edge it's about as screamoz as I Hate Myself, which I never found very SKRAMZAPALOOZA. - Listen to Steeplechase, there is definately a 'pop edge' there.
