hopecore

Formed in 2008 by singer Alastair Gray, bassist Toby Dore and keyboard player Chloe Debouzie, The Stars Down to Earth arose from songs written by Alastair over the previous year. Wishing from the outset to distance themselves from the 4 boys/4 instruments style of indie, they began to put together an array of sounds in order to capture those that had inspired Alastair to write in the beginning. They quickly brought in Becky Walton to sing backing vocals but she soon found herself behind the drums as well.
