"['Impossible' is] one of the standouts from the new set..." - Billboard.com


"['Bullet' is] best song of his career so far, as well as one of the best songs of the year...Star stretches more than ever before, creating a stunning anthem with its epic scope, while keeping the raw, emotionally direct storytelling..." - Newsday

"...he channels an immediately palpable spirit over the course of the collection's five songs. Nodding to everybody from Pearl Jam to Peter Gabriel, it's a heartfelt, honest, and hypnotic offering. It shows the real Ryan Star, and that's a wonderful thing." - ArtistDirect.com



"...raw and unburdened... - SheKnows.com




Today brings the release of acclaimed rock artist Ryan Star's Animals EP. The video for the lead single "Impossible" just premiered on Fuse.tv. PRESS HERE<http://www.fuse.tv/videos/2013/07/ryan-star-impossible-video-premiere> to watch the video, which captures a turbulent relationship and depicts the battle between light and dark inside all of us.  It was directed by DONALD/ZAEH. The song, inspired by the quote "humans are a hybrid between angels and animals," recently premiered on Billboard.com.

Two other songs off of R. Star's EP made their way to our ears recently - Newsday showed Long Island-native Ryan some love when they premiered the indie gem "Bullet," which begins as a stripped-down slow-burn before crescendoing into a powerful ending - PRESS HERE<http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/backstage-pass-1.811987/hear-the-new-ryan-star-song-bullet-exclusive-1.5818694> to check it out. The moody, coming-of-age track "F*ck'n Up" premiered on ArtistDirect.com - PRESS HERE<http://www.artistdirect.com/entertainment-news/article/ryan-star-teams-up-with-artistdirect-com-to-debut-f-ck-n-up-song/10662779> to listen.


After taking the music world by storm during the last three years and signing to Island Def Jam in 2012, Ryan is reclaiming his art and choosing to self-release his new EP, which he executive produced. Recorded entirely analog with his touring band, many times in just one take, Animals is an intimate EP with a cinematic flare and boasts the kind of understated yet moving power that only R. Star can deliver.



Ryan has had his music featured prominently in more than 50 films and TV shows, including P.S. I Love You, The Vampire Diaries and the opening theme song to Lie To Me. Given his live prowess, he's been tapped to open for many of today's chart-topping artists and has even shared the stage with childhood idol and friend Steven Van Zandt. His 2010 full-length major label debut, 11:59, landed at #10 on Billboard's Rock Albums Chart and #4 on the Tastemakers Chart. Then, his 2012 hit "Stay Awhile" lit up airwaves and quickly amassed over 2 million YouTube views, earning him a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.



Ryan, who is known for his raw and electric shows, will perform special EP release shows in New York City this week August 6 at Joe's Pub, August 7 at Rockwood Music Hall, August 8 at Piano's and August 9 at  Mercury Lounge. He is revisiting the stages where it all began for him with up-close-and-personal shows. Be sure to catch him live!
