With its debut album Love is Here, Starsailor already had its first single “Good Souls” embraced in the United States. “Good Souls” was the song that helped Starsailor gain recog nition in the states. Its unconventional release of “Fever” launched it to stardom in Britain. Ben Byrne, drummer for Starsailor, said there was pressure on the band to get something released as soon as possible because of the band’s increased recognition. “We hadn’t even written the album when ‘Fever’ was released,” Byrne said. “The song was a demo we had recorded live from the year before.” “Fever” gained raves in Britain, and Byrne said that “Good Souls” was the next obvious choice. “The reason ‘Good Souls’ was chosen for the first single in America was because it just had this sound about it,” Byrne said, “It seems to have done really well so far.” Byrne said the next single lined up for release is one of the more upbeat songs on the album, “Poor Misguided Fool.” Byrne said “Poor Misguided Fool” will fit more into the rock scene in America and appeal to more people. Byrne said he definitely noticed a differ ence between Britain and the United States Aggies be it-so-new pit try one shou it.
