EP Review: Starcrazy – Another Day, Another Squalor… (Self Released)

Another Day, Another Squalor… is the raucous, high-octane new EP from Australian retro-rock outfit Starcrazy, due to be released on March 10th, 2023.

A whole heap of old-school fun, Starcrazy’s new EP is a hyperactive blast of grin-inducing power-pop-infused rock. Covered with a sticky layer of glam and delving into alternative heavier areas here and there. Uncomplicated, retrofit for the modern era, and delivered with a ton of passion. What’s not to like?

Especially when it kicks off with such anthemic energy as it does with Galaxy O Luv and then Starcrazy follow that up with the funkalicious pop-rock focused The Big Time. Two tracks to move, groove and sing along to. Though The Open Sea has something to say when it comes to finger-snapping, foot-tapping, and head-nodding good time tunes. One of the catchiest tracks on the EP.

Pure pace, punky in nature, but rooted in high-powered rock energy, Egging Me Own is a short and frantic slice of excitement. Before there’s just a touch of experimentation with the dramatics of Hysterical. A track that has a killer chorus and some chunky bass licks. Followed then by the finale of Monday Morning (Prayer For Tony), a straight-forward slab of old-school rock and roll that keeps the anthemic qualities of Starcrazy front and centre.
