BBC MANCHESTER GREAT UNHEARD - March 2007

What We Think:

"How do you make it as a Mancunian guitar band without sounding like a cliché? Some tackle the problem head on and others ignore. Carlis Star live life in the former, layering sweet harmonies on chaotic songs, mixing up influences as diverse as Arcade Fire and Teenage Fanclub, to make the kind of music that is simply addictive. Forget what you might think, it turns out Manc indie music can still be original."
