Biography

As the title of the New York rocker’s Atlantic debut provocatively suggests, Star’s whole life has been building to this point. The songs on “11:59” play out in real time, the stories spin out in narratives that resonate with urgency and truth. Star’s often stripped-bare vocals give the songs an added resonance.

Editorial Reviews

The songs on '11:59' play out in real time, the stories spin out in narratives that resonate with urgency and truth. Star's often stripped-bare vocals give the songs an added resonance. Throughfully and meticulously created, '11:59' proves well worth the wait. Throughtout much of the album, Star seamlessly melds traditional rock elements with captivating rhythms.

Star partnered with producer Matt Serletic (matchbox twenty, Collective Soul), who artfully understood how to combine Star's storytelling style with his modern sensibilities. 'Matt and I created something special; we really put our different personalities together to make this record,' Star says. Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance) provided additional production to bring out his rock roots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ryan will soon be a star August 5, 2010
Format:Audio CD
I've been following Ryan since 2003 when I saw his band Stage as an opening act. I bought their self-titled album and fell completely in love with it, I highly recommend picking it up. Unfortunately, Stage broke up but it lead to Ryan becoming one of the final contestants on the show Rockstar Supernova. He then released his first solo album, "Songs From The Eye Of An Elephant," which was a beautiful collection of 20 songs. The album was mostly nothing more than Ryan's voice and a piano, as he wanted to digress from his rock sound and get back to the way his songs sound when they're first written.

After hearing about 11:59 for over 2 years on Ryan's website and MySpace page, the album has finally been released, though a handful of these songs have been heard in media for quite some time now. This very under-rated artist has once again picked up the electric guitar, but instead of following in the footsteps of his idols (Live, Pearl Jam), these songs are more pop-rock driven. The good thing about this album is that it shows Ryan's variety as a folk singer, a rock star, and now a pop star. The big single is Breathe, an extremely uplifting tune that has the potential to be a big radio anthem. Last Train Home is another gem on the album, it's a U2-style power ballad that you may have heard in the film P.S. I Love You. Another favorite of mine is Brand New Day, a very catchy tune that serves as the theme to TV's Lie To Me. It uses more electronics and showcases Ryan's awesome voice. Right Now was released as a video over a year ago, it's a pretty good song but I admit that I was initially thrown off by the "go-go-go" chants from the cheerleaders.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!! August 11, 2010
Format:Audio CD
Such a talented musician!!! I first saw Ryan on Rock Star: Supernova (a CBS reality show with drummer Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), bassist Jason Newsted (Voivod and ex-Metallica), guitarist Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses), looking for a lead singer for their band Supernova), in 2006. Ryan did a cover for REM, Losing My Religion (youtube it) and it blew me away!!!! His piano playing mixed with his sexy voice made me an instant fan. He ended up writing and playing some of his own music and proved to everyone to be a stellar musician. He made it to the end of the show but did not get the gig. It was for the better, in my opinion, because he needed to write and play his own stuff. Then, I was watching tv one day, a new show at the time, Lie To Me comes on and it was Ryan's voice that comes streaming out of my speakers for the opening theme song, Brand New Day!!!! Loved the song (and the show :). Then I had the opportunity to meet Ryan when he was coming through town doing a promo for Breathe and the guy was completely down-to-earth and just plain cool to hang out with! So, I'm a HUGE fan and I know that he will catch on big and become a super-"Star" :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Ryan Star heard October 28, 2011 October 27, 2011
Format:Audio CD
I went with a friend tonight to hear the Goo Goo Dolls in Greensboro, NC. Ryan Star opened for them and I was not familiar with Ryan. I was completely blown away by him. His songs and live performance were unbelieveably good. Everyone around me in the audience kept talking about how great his vocals were and how powerful & tight the band was. His music was extremely dynamic mixing both melodic power drive with softer passages. I bought the CD after the show in the venue lobby and just got finished listening to it. I immediately went to Atlantic Records and bought the CD for a friend through Amazon. Ryan Star is TRUE talent. This is a real musical artist who belongs at the top.

Wish there was a preview of what the songs will be like!
I am kind of worried, though, b/c it seems that everytime I look up this album on Amazon (it is in My Wish List), the Release Date becomes later and later! It was in June or July, and then September, and now currently shows October 28th!

Delayed Release?
I'm with you Theresa...but this CD was supposed to come out in like Spring, then got push back to July, then September, then October, and now to December. So who knows when it will actually come out!
