Episode 585: Modcast #585: Shakin' It Down with Star Collector
This week on the Modcast I shakedown the breakdown with Vancouver's own power pop sensations Star Collector. Vic and Steve join me to dish the dirt on the making of the band's latest album, Everything Must Go!They're not holding anything back, the band puts it all out there for their seventh full length release. Overall the album has a strong, modern rock vibe with hints of the influences you'd expect surfacing all throughout from The Who to Big Star to Teenage Fanclub. And while those echoes are there, the album stands on its own songwriting with hooks aplenty and lyrics from clever to emotional. The title track is loud, glitzy and anthemic and will have audiences bouncing along, driven by Who like guitars and pounding drums. Then there's the notstalgic Victory Dance with it's mod scene theme that all aging mods can relate to. Other standout tracks include Shakedown the Breakdown, Station 8, and Victory Dance. Hell I could list all 13 tracks as stand outs. So, come along for the show, you'll be glad you did. As always a bonus third set of songs - all Star Collector videos this time around, and all the important links to all the important stuff over on the modcast homepage at http://www.mistersuave.com/2025/08/modcast-585-shakin-it-down-with-star.html.And keep up with me between modcasts:Subscribe - iTunesX (formerly Twitter) - @mistersuaveBluesky - @mistersuaveFacebook - facebook.com/modmodworldInstagram - instagram.com/mrrobsuaveTune in - iHeart RadioAnd listen on Mod Radio UKWhat is Mod?
