If you are a music fan with wide and eclectic tastes like myself then MySpace is a wonderful beast and thanks to this website I have discovered the musical delights of Five Star Iris.

Bar the last track (which is still listenable) on this six track CD they are all wonderful, top notch pop rockers.

'Day In The Sun' would be a hit single no problems with decent airplay, whilst 'Still With You' features sublime vocals and the band's almost trademark chiming guitars mixed with some electronic sampling.

They plough their own furrow musically although the early work of Collective Soul and latter day Cheap Trick would be good comparisons.

Go check them out on MySpace and then get this CD. I guarantee you will love the tunes on here if you like well crafted pop rock tunes.
