		He knows his band have enjoyed a rapid ascent, but he's not deaf to the criticism that's accompanied it, and he's always thinking about how to take his music higher.
		Starsailor might have started the year as one of the most talked about new groups in the country, but they've handled the pressures admirably - and in the last few months their raw and emotionally confrontational music has begun to strike a chord on a far wider scale.
		The band were relieved when it was finally time to start recording their debut album.

	[fmSound] Starsailor at The Troubador
		Our band may be young, he continues to insinuate, but we've got a confidence built from playing larger shows at home, and will strut that confidence by playing ourselves out to our own music.
		Onstage, the band is assured and tight, eschewing the usual standards and covers one might expect from a band named from a Tim Buckley album for their own brand of Brit Rock.
		These seem to be the songs, hits even, of a band too big for this stage that has launched the careers of far greater acts, but unready to hit the road on their own anywhere bigger.

	Artist Profile - Starsailor
		Perhaps not, but Starsailor, first warmed by the publicity spotlight and then scalded by it, are, whatever their birth certificates might claim to the contrary, old hands now.
		What sustains a band is what happens in the studio, fine-tuning a song, eyeball-to-eyeball over the mixing desk, or full-throttle and high-decibel onstage.
		Those to-a-deadline gatherings saw the band moving on from the cap-off-the-bottle catharsis of the first album, and the make-sense-of-it-all upheavals of the second, and looking at the world around them, as if, they say now, for the first time.

	Starsailor + David Ford @ Octagon, Sheffield : gig review
		Although we were just too late to see Manchester band Pioneers play a seemingly well-received set, there was more than enough time to grab a decent spot to watch former Easyworld vocalist David Ford perform his support slot.
		They've been unfairly dismissed in the past as a 'post-Coldplay' band, but On The Outside showcased a far more muscular sound than on previous occassions, which is ably demonstrated in their live act.
		Starsailor may not do anything revolutionary, and they may not write chapters of rock history, but they've written some damn good songs on their three albums.

	Starsailor - PopMatters Concert Review
		As the band took the stage of the intimate confines of the Metro, the audience could feel the sense of catching a last wave before Walsh and crew were bound for bigger venues.
		Starsailor's strength as a group is their ability to constantly shift and build tension throughout their music.
		Big things certainly loom on the horizon for Starsailor, the challenge will be for a band that is so much reliant on one man's presence and persona to continually stay vital over the long voyage of a rock and roll life.

	Starsailor : Smooth Sailing for James Walsh : Soul Shine Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Where his initial rise to stardom may have been swift and hectic, he and his band Starsailor are now firmly established, and are as unlikely to disappear as the screaming sea of faces they see before them.
		As the chief singer/songwriter of a band who shifted well over one million copies of their debut album, 'Love Is Here', one may expect him to have succumbed to the trappings that such immediate success can bring.
		Starsailor are entering a new era, and with 'Silence Is Easy' look to have leap-frogged the second album banana skin, but Walsh promises they are far from resting on their laurels.

	Starsailor - Interview @ Designer Magazine
		Starsailor will return to Jabez Clegg to perform an acoustic set, their last appearance at Manchester was a sold out show at the 4000 capacity Apollo.
		Bizarrely the last time Designer Magazine saw Starsailor they were laughing outright at Colleen McLoughlin at the Kanye West gig at the MEN Arena where Ms Rooney to-be spent most of her time trying to get noticed by everyone in the building with her Agent Provocateur shopping bags.
		It's really weird being the support band for gigs like that because when you get to that size you get more of the passing fan, if you know what I mean, like people who peruse the copy of City Life and think I quite like one of their songs I might head down to that.

	Good Souls; The Starsailor Archive. NME Astoria Gig February 2003.
		Starsailor were set to headline the NME Award Tour show on February 4th 2003, following sets from Hope of the States, The 22-20s and Nada Surf, with some of the ticket price going to charity Scope.
		The lowering of the house lights and the original version of Alcoholic played through the PA indicated Starsailor were imminent, followed by the Soulsavers mix of Poor Misguided Fool and a crescendo of dramatic stage lighting to build the tension and expectation yet further.
		It was very evident throughout that the band were having a whale of a time, visibly good humoured and enjoying their music and blowing away the recent studio cobwebs.

	Starsailor @ The Lomax : gig review
		Saying that they're the band "most likely to do a Coldplay" is also a bit insulting to their potential and for now they are just a small band playing a small venue.
		Perhaps they will be the next Coldplay or Travis, but bands like that only get stomached by the mass media because they arewell, a bit bland.
		It is unclear from this showing whether Starsailor have the strength in depth to be a better band than those they are being lumped together with.

	The Loyola PHOENIX
		Granted, to compare them with such bands as genre-mates is obviously unfair; they deserve to be judged without such pointless distinguishing.
		As such, instead of being a band poorly capitalizing on the groundwork of others as they could be seen, they come out as a perfectly middling band in their own right.
		Starsailor has debuted with an unsubstantial collection of supposedly haunting and painful British chords that are in reality flat and simply dull, but there is hope.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Love Is Here, Starsailor, CD
		Starsailor frontman James Walsh (who's about as heart-on-sleeve sensitive as they come) isn't likely to be ignored, however, as long as he maintains the in-your-face tenor displayed on the much-hyped Brit band's debut disc.
		Starsailor was already a critic's darling in the band's native England during mid-2001, and the group's painfully melodic debut, Love Is Here, poised the band to rise in the shadows of Doves, Coldplay, and Travis.
		The band isn't typically jaunty, for the members of Starsailor are a bit cynical.

	Starsailor - Biography - AOL Music
		As the single was released, the band went to Wales to record their debut album.
		After achieving their first U.K. Top Ten hit with the single "Alcoholic," Starsailor's debut album, Love Is Here, was released in September 2001 to much critical fanfare, and a European tour closed out a highly successful year.
		Phil Spector was originally slated to produce the album; however, recording sessions were frustrating for the band, thus leaving them to ask Danton Supple (Morrissey, Elbow, Doves) and John Leckie (Radiohead, the Stone Roses, Ride) to step in as producers.

	Maurice's Music Reviews for 2003
		Their influences show, and that's not necessarily bad, however any attempt to proclaim them as the posterband for music industry change would be fruitless (fortunately because they are so indie, they haven't been thrown up on the wall, unlike The Strokes, et al).
		While this album is not going to make top 10 lists for this year, perhaps even being forgotten by the end, Starsailor should be credited for making a solid album that isn't a rehash of anything that is current popular, doesn't compromise their own integrity as artists, and is overall well-crafted.

	Ink 19 :: Starsailor
		Each band seemed to be trying to make it their own, a healthy competition among the bands.
		When a kid from a band who had just got a deal with a label came up to me and said he was at one of my shows and was inspired, it made me feel great but sort of made me feel old.
		Starsailor's US tour ends mid-November and amidst a sea of anxiously awaiting James Blunt panderers (who nearly blew out both of my ear drums when he finally trotted on stage), I tried, like I promised, to pay close attention to what happened during Starsailor's confusing "Alcoholic" song.

		Review: Starsailor was already a critic's darling in the band's native England during mid-2001, and the group's painfully melodic debut, Love Is Here, poised the band to rise in the shadows of Doves, Coldplay, and Travis.
		Starsailor, however, isn't as polished as its counterparts, but that's not to say Love Is Here isn't a beautiful piece of work.
		Starsailor is a young band, and Love Is Here illustrates the group's sharp intellect inside basic acoustics.

	Surviving Spector, other Starsailor tales - The Boston Globe
		In 2002, Starsailor came out of nowhere -- Lancashire in the north of England, really -- to sell worldwide more than a million copies of their debut CD, "Love is Here," and 150,000 in their homeland.
		The band toured this country once: "nonstop," says singer-songwriter-guitarist James Walsh, seeing not so much America, but "the inside of venues and car parks and buses." When the band finished touring, it came time to think about songs for a second album.
		In concert, Starsailor generally plays faster and with more energy, "whereas when you're recording, you have to have a great amount of respect for the songs and leave spaces for the calm," Walsh says.

		With its funky groove, Louis Clark-style disco string arrangements, bongos and lashings of mirror-ball cheese it even has the audacity to come out with a line as methodical as "I was sure she would be my girl" and get away with it.
		Starsailor is, oddly enough, not at their best when they are upbeat and poppy, or even depressed and angsty.
		Starsailor gets mopey in their sophomore album "Silence Is Easy," but they have some standout songs that keep it from being a tearstained sobfest.

	Portsmouth Herald Local News: British band Starsailor may have been final Phil Spector client
		The band’s first album, "Love Is Here," sold 144,000 copies here and the new one, "Silence Is Easy," has moved 16,000 in a month, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
		The music reflects a band with wider experiences than the small-town kids on Starsailor’s debut, with members who became a success, traveled the world and, in Walsh’s case, became a father.
		Starsailor and Walsh have taken some arrows in the British press and from competing bands for being, of all things, too nice.

		Silence is apparently easy as Starsailor fail to show up on stage on time and also fail to apologise for it.
		This is the band’s first U.K. gig in months and the first since returning from L.A. where they have been recording their forth-coming third album.
		One of the band’s entourage enters the side of the stage with a sign that says “YOU WON” and it takes a little while for Walsh to clock it, but when he does he appears to get a second wind and energetically jumps about the stage.
