Been Stellar are an unlikely gang: Sam Slocum and guitarist Skylar Knapp met in high school outside of Detroit, later coming together with Nando Dale on guitar (who is from Brazil by way of Sydney), with Los Angeles natives Nico Brunstein on bass and Laila Wayans on drums at University. Bonded by the mission to create music that sounds like them, each member adds a tone and a limb to create a bleary, melodically raucous wall that could only have ever taken shape in a specific space: New York; and a specific time: right now.
