Starbenders are a glam rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 2013 by vocalist and guitarist Kimi Shelter and bassist Aaron Lecesne. Signed to Sumerian Records, they blend glam theatrics with punk urgency and synth-pop textures - a sound they call 'blasphemous candy-coated bubblegum punk'. Their 2020 album 'Love Potions' broke them to a wider audience, and their fourth studio album 'The Beast Goes On' followed in February 2026.
Starbenders released their fourth studio album 'The Beast Goes On' on February 27, 2026 via Sumerian Records, and announced a UK/EU tour running through summer 2026.
Starbenders announced 'The Beast Goes On' in January 2026, describing it as the first album to feature new drummer Qi Wei.
The band released the lead single 'The Beast Goes On' in late 2025, ahead of the full album announcement.
Starbenders performed as support on Nita Strauss's tour in early 2024, shortly after drummer Emily Moon departed and was replaced by Qi Wei.
