As with all the bands on this channel, Stellar is a fictional creation-an homage to the 80s, where the music did the talking, not the image. Stellar never quite fit the glamorous rock-star mold, but their sound was undeniable. With harmonies as tight as their jeans, they quickly became a cult favorite in the AOR world. Their music wasn’t about looks; it was about capturing that raw, melodic power. ❤️🎶
Any references to real bands are just here to bring their fictional story to life, adding a bit of fun to their legacy as one of the great "what if" bands of the era. 🎸
Stellar is a distinguished melodic rock band originating from the vibrant music scene of Canada in the late 1970s. Formed in 1978, Stellar brought together five seasoned musicians, each with a rich history in the Canadian rock landscape. Despite releasing only one album, "Planet Called Earth" in 1980, the band left an indelible mark on the early Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) scene in Canada. Today, their debut album is celebrated as a hidden gem, revered by enthusiasts for its melodic depth and timeless appeal.
Band Members:
Michael "Mike" Thompson - Lead Vocals
David "Dave" Harris - Lead Guitar
Kevin "Kev" Morgan - Bass Guitar
James "Jim" Anderson - Drums
Patrick "Pat" Lewis - Keyboards
Stellar burst onto the Canadian music scene with their debut mini-album in 1979, which quickly garnered significant attention and buzz among rock enthusiasts. Their unique blend of well-produced keyboards and soaring guitar riffs caught the eye of Monarch Records, a label renowned for its dedication to melodic rock. Monarch Records signed Stellar and collaborated with the esteemed producer Pete Gavin, who was celebrated for crafting some of the most memorable melodic rock albums of that era.
In 1980, Stellar released their full-length album "Planet Called Earth" under Monarch Records. The album featured the standout single "Endless Chase," which became one of the most popular tracks on the record. While "Planet Called Earth" did not achieve substantial commercial success upon its release, it is now considered a true masterpiece within the early Canadian AOR scene. The album's melodic richness and authentic 80s AOR sound have earned it a cult following.
Stellar was a superb liveact and went on tours across Canada, performing alongside notable acts such as Touch, Wrabit, and Kim Mitchell.
