Surging though 2008 on three songs and an ever-growing fan base, Stars Go Dim – a foursome of uncompromised talent includes lead vocalist Chris Cleveland, guitarist Joey Avalos, bassist Michael Wittig, and drummer Lester Estelle – has completed the first EP for release in October 2008.

The self-titled five song collection features three fan favorites “Come Around,” “Crazy,” and “Walk On” that have been digitally re-mastered with new mixes. They join two new songs penned by Avalos, “Incredible” and “Get Over It.”

The decidedly pop-rock radio-friendly tunes are lined with love-laden lyrics intense guitar licks, and a seasoned rhythm section. Avalos says of the new tracks, “We just love to write songs that make you want to sing-along.”

The EP is the precursor to a tangled tale of love that Avalos alludes to in the original sampling of songs. “It wasn’t until I had written a twelve or so songs that we realized what we had. It’s really this intricate mess of a love story that will unfold itself with our full-length album,” says Avalos.
“The whole package really presents our musical identity. We’ve spent the past several months working and waiting to get this EP out to our fans,” comments Wittig.

Stars Go Dim’s musical style blends pop, rock and smooth soul and feature engaging lyrics held together with captivating melodies.

After forming in late 2007, Stars Go Dim witnessed a string of success – the group opened for Switchfoot, Daughtry, and Graham Colton, and shared the stage with Paramore, The All-American Rejects, and The Roots. Stars Go Dim took the musical crown in a series of contests for rock and pop compositions as well as vocalist and songwriting categories nationwide, with the most prominent being Country Music Television’s Listener’s Choice Award. It wasn’t long before Buckle Retailers nationwide were streaming Stars Go Dim tunes through its store speakers in the summer of 2008.

Much of their initial success is credited back to their fans. “We really do have the best fans. Really. They were onboard with us when we just had a few videos of us writing the songs and no other music or bells and whistles to offer,” says Cleveland.

“The online communities have helped us get to know our fans better and vice versa. We’re always coming up with new ways to connect,” notes Wittig.

The Tulsa-based quartet landed a spot on ClearChannel radio’s online destination for new music which provides Stars Go Dim streaming music and content on demand. Stars Go Dim has been featured in Tulsa media markets on Fox 23, Good Morning Tulsa, News 9 This Morning, and the CW’s UpLate with Ben Sumner, as well as becoming a music journalist favorite in the Tulsa World and also the Urban Tulsa, which dubbed the band “the best unsigned pop band in Oklahoma.”
