DESCRIPTION:
Beneath the Stares creates a unique blend of progressive, heavy, melodic music with artistic sensibility.

Long-time Chicago musicians Erik Oldman (Avernus, Stunato, Radar, Sons of Ra), Bill Hamning (Avernus, Urn, Electric Hellfire Club), Lisa LoGrasso (Stunato, The 28th Day), and Yorg Rinker (Tools of Ignorance) merged their diverse talents to create a progressive music both challenges and engages the listener as Beneath the Stares.

Beneath The Stares comes from the tradition of adventurous, dramatic, cohesive well-crafted songs in the style of Queen and Genesis, balanced with memorable hooks in the style of Muse, the ambience of Radiohead, the artistic sensibility of Bjork, and pummeling rhythms and blistering guitar work reminiscent of Opeth. Drawing from such a wide variety of musical influences while forging a distinct musical identity makes Beneath The Stares a truly unique act to experience live.
