The Man With Stars On His Knees

Aaron Buchanan And The Cult Classics – The Man With Stars On His Knees album review.

‘Aaron Buchanan’ has stars on his knees and superstar status in his mind with this debut album shooting him skywards. The album entitled "The Man With Stars On His Knees" is fuelled by explosive and melodic rock from start to finish, with the help of Aarons’ band, ‘The Cult Classics’.

Aaron is no stranger to the rock scene being in various projects and bands including, the ever changing, Heavens Basement. The experiences he has had and the background growing up in the music scene shine through his debut solo work as it pays homage to late generations of rock n roll. After listening to the album in full one can truly appreciate the eclectic and brilliant sound that has been crafted. Tracks like ‘All The Things You Have Said And Done’ and ‘Dancin’ Down Below’ are made for anyone to shake out their vocal cords, while title track ‘The Man With Stars On His Knees’ will get everyone reaching for their air guitars.

The pinnacle track would be ‘Journey Out Of Here’ as it combines all the best aspects of the artist and band. The track starts as an angelic poetic love affair with Aaron’s unique voice and lyrics before being treated to a heavy grinding riff. All the tracks from this debut solo project are worth having on repeat and certainly will be an experience when transformed into a live format.

A perfect comparison of this music to any others would be the love child of ‘Rise Against’ and ‘Queen’.  ‘The Man With Stars On His Knees’ drops to earth at the end of May so sit down, pick up the album and prepare for an intergalactic thrill ride from the next generation of rock star.
