Fresh from North Florida, Astari Nite stands on its own. Though described as a mix of The Cure and Placebo, the cerebral lyrics and crafted synths have a unique edge.
“We don’t fit in our local music scene” Mychael Ghost, lead vocalist and founder of the band, said. “The scene in Miami is so diverse and has mostly so called…punk so we’re basically the only ones in our genre.”
Their knack for making sentimental lyrics fresh and their aura smooth have made them the sore thumb, but to their benfit.
“Since we’ve first started playing, we’ve become more dynamic” Ghost said. “Our earliest song, “Beware of the Angels” is considered dark poppy punk…our later songs have become more complex.”
Ghost’s countertenor-esque intoning “Love’s a nightmare/Do you know how love can leave you?/I’m lonely and I wonder why” along with their melodic guitars is a mood zapper. And it’s just the beginning of Astari Nite's musical catapult. ∆
