Killerstar discusses their newest glam rock single and upcoming 2026 album

KillerStar, the dynamic rock duo composed of Rob Fleming and James Sedge, is making waves in the music industry with their latest single, “So Easy.” This new track, which exudes energy, skill, and glam, is just a taste of what fans can expect from their upcoming album, “The Afterglow,” set to release in March 2026.

In a recent interview, the duo delved into the creative process behind “So Easy,” revealing that it was one of the first songs written for their new album. The song originated from a catchy guitar riff and organically evolved from there, incorporating crunchy riffs, catchy hooks, and harmonies from The Webb Sisters. The addition of a piano solo from Mike Garson added another dimension to the track, making it a joyful and positive addition to their discography.

When asked about the inspiration behind their upcoming album, “The Afterglow,” KillerStar shared that it was influenced by their debut album and their experiences performing live. The creative process involved writing and demoing the songs themselves before bringing in a talented lineup of musicians, including former members of David Bowie’s band and The Webb Sisters, to record in various studios across the UK and USA.

Reflecting on their decision to make “So Easy” the lead single, KillerStar explained that it felt like the perfect introduction to their new album, serving as a bridge between their previous work and the upcoming tracks. While they considered other options, they ultimately felt that “So Easy” encapsulated the essence of their music and style, making it a strong choice for the first single release.

The duo’s journey as KillerStar began after years of friendship and a shared passion for rock music. While they had collaborated on other musical projects in the past, creating a rock-oriented band together felt like a natural progression. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, including Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and The Rolling Stones, KillerStar’s sound is a unique fusion of classic rock elements with a contemporary edge.

As the holiday season approaches, KillerStar revealed that they would love to invite Iggy Pop to Christmas dinner, citing his vast knowledge of music and wealth of experience as the perfect addition to their festivities. With a nod to their glam-rock roots and a contemporary twist, KillerStar continues to captivate audiences with their infectious sound and electrifying performances.
