Star's Revenge has announced Star's Revenge II, its second album, scheduled for release on November 27. The record follows the group's 2022 debut and was preceded by the first single, "Don't Worry Dynamite."
Why it matters
The announcement marks the band's first full-length follow-up in several years and gives New York's DIY scene a new release from a group that has kept playing local shows. Its recording approach and lineup of musicians with ties to other active bands add to its profile in the city's alternative music community.
Star's Revenge II contains 11 tracks and is scheduled for release on November 27, following the group's 2022 debut album. Its commercial reception and streaming performance have not yet been reported.
