P*STARR

P*STARR are the original pioneers of the “Northern Funk” sound . A sound that encompasses the feel and traditional values of funk, pursuing solid groove and “pocket” amalgamated with British and American riff heavy rock influences creating a driven, grounded, working-class slab of dance inducing, energising, beat heavy sound as addictive as it is absorbing. 

The current line-up, made up of Martin Mcdermott (lead vocals), Mick Kiernan (guitar), Neil Schofield (bass), Jordan Chadwick (drums) and Anthony Nicholl (guitar) formed in 2020, and have been consistently creating and performing the thickest, filthiest grooves around the music scene ever since, making waves at music venues and festivals wherever they play. 

Many influences have helped to shape their unique, eclectic sound and it would only be right to give props to the likes of James Brown, Stevie wonder, Nile Rodgers, Maceo Parker, Jamiroquai and also more left field artists like thin Lizzy, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Vulfpeck and AC/DC who have all influenced PSTARR’S creative process and energetic performance style. 

Currently putting the finishing touches to their new (as yet untitled) album P*STARR have already had success with recently released singles “If you want it” “Better man”, “Don’t matter to me”, “walking in your sleep and their latest single “FIXX” is due for release later this month. P*STARR plan to release the full album later in 2025.
