Biography
They Were Stars is an indie pop-rock band from Dallas, Texas. Their sound draws from a range of influences including Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, My Bloody Valentine, Ok Go, Pixies, and Tripping Daisy, taking pop music to the next level. The band prides itself on its experienced musicianship and the ability to play as well live as they do in the their recordings.
They Were Stars formed in late 2006 in Dallas, Texas, only to record a few demo tracks then take a year-long hiatus. Collin Cable (vocals) and Graham Smith (bass) reunited in early 2008 to continue the project and recruited guitarist Taylor Tatsch and drummer Cooper Heffley. They quickly began working on a six-song EP but found it hard to stop there. The band soon had enough material to extend the EP into a full-length album, Own Your Atoms, which they released in April of 2009. The band wrote, produced, engineered, and mixed the entire album themselves. Around the time of the release, they brought in guitarist Mitch Lazorko to complete the group.
They Were Stars has recently opened for bands such as Motion City Soundtrack, Vedera, and Pictures and Sound. As of May 2009, they are writing new music and playing shows around North Texas
