Starset is the sonic interzone where fact, science and speculation collide. Their 2014 debut, TRANSMISSIONS, is a thought-provoking broadcast of cinematic Rock full of epic intents, poignant thoughts and personal nuances. Like any great piece of art, it begs more questions than it actually answers: precisely the intent of vocalist and songwriter Dustin Bates, who formed the band in 2013 in Columbus, Ohio. Produced by Rob Graves (Red, All That Remains) and mixed by Ben Grosse (30 Seconds to Mars, Fuel), the album showcases the audio accompaniment to a tale set amongst humanity's highest aspirations and utter ruin through songs like the current Active-Rock hit, 'My Demons' and the sprawling 'Halo'. Bates' voice is at once plaintive and bellicose: A rage against the machine of slashing guitars, strings and pulsing electronics. The band's line-up is rounded out by bassist Ron DeChant, guitarist Brock Richards and drummer Adam Gilbert.
