When not enjoying a meal at Pakistan Tea House, Damon Hardjowirogo and George Stroud join forces to create music as Starscream. With an extremely diverse set of influences including bands such as Mono, The Octopus Project and Iron Maiden, Starscream create drawn out compositions that tend to be both soothing and destructive, kind of like when a distant White Dwarf explodes.
Since first founded in 2007, Starscream has put forth three releases; their most recent, "Future, and It Doesn't Work" came out on 8BitPeoples in June of 2009. The following summer the band went on to support the album with a tour that included dates in the United Kingdom, Canada, and a week long North American excursion with best friends Anamanaguchi.
The bands fourth release, "The Space Years" is scheduled for a late 2009/early 2010 release.
