“Haunting, Stirring and Impactful…those words just keep going through our mind as we take in the new single “I’ll See You In The Stars” from Famous Strangers. This one is quite unique with a powerful intensity that is full of rhythm and achieves the rare feat of fury as a pure form of beauty. We really dig this one and you can catch it on your Home for the Best New Rock…” – WJOE – Findlay’s Home for Rock & Roll

About the single:
“The artwork to me represents the fact that she sees what we cannot: the patterns we repeat, the light buried beneath the weight. She is not a savior in the traditional sense. She is a shift in angle, a reminder of what we’ve forgotten. Clarity exists outside the spiral. Deep Star is the version of ourselves we lost when we stopped looking up.” ~ Art Szabo (Digital Artist)
About the single:
I started writing this song literally just describing my friend Mileena, how she makes me feel and how her presence feels in the room. It all came together so perfectly when I added all the space and Healing. The world needs a Hero and I put those two together.. it just happened.. flooding the paper like some epic extraterrestrial being! Whats even better is that she agreed to be Deepstar and be in our video! We are honored and Blessed to have her. AMANDA KIERNAN
“Deep Star” came together quickly and organically. While exploring presets on my new Fractal FM9, I landed on a tone that instantly brought to mind classic Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and the main riff came together almost immediately. Once I brought it to Beej, the song fell into place fast and gave Amanda plenty of space to write. It was one of the first songs the four of us created together. During recording, the ending evolved in the studio, and we loved it so much we kept it. It was one of those moments that proves the magic that happens when everyone’s locked in. At its core, it’s a straight-up rock song.

Fun Facts – Story Angles
1. The band is the perfect mistake—something that was never meant to be, yet somehow became exactly what it needed to. It came together as a meeting of the minds, a collision of ideas and energy that formed something greater than any of us could have planned.
2. The single, along with all of Famous Strangers’ music, is recorded and mixed by Jeff Kittlitz, making the entire process 85% in-house. This hands-on approach allows us to shape our sound exactly as we envision it, keeping the recording experience raw, real, and true to who we are as a band.
3. Amanda actually DJs at an exotic nightclub in Edmonton called Shade
4. Braden isn’t just holding down the low end in Famous Strangers—he’s also a teacher, working with students from K to 12. Whether it’s in the classroom or on stage, he brings the same passion and dedication to everything he does.
5. Beej is relentless behind the kit, averaging six hours of drumming every day. Whether it’s rehearsing, refining technique, or just chasing the perfect groove, the dedication never stops.
