STARIFIED discuss Thin Lizzy’s influence on their music: “For all three of us in Starified, classic rock have always been a source of inspiration: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who… But among these giants, Thin Lizzy has always had a special place – they went through several radical changes in sound and style, and left an invaluable heritage for multiple generations of rockers. The unmistakable voice and sound of Phil Lynott are simply iconic, and the least we could do to pay homage to his genius was to record this cover. John Sykes is among the world’s greatest virtuosos and he is one of the reasons our guitarist Yuriy Berezovik actually started to play guitar. Thin Lizzy is one of those bands you can’t copy, they’re not just a band, they’re a whole genre of their own.“
Prior to this one-shot cover, STARIFIED released an epic and fun-laden video for their first single “Don Loco”, which is taken from their upcoming new album ‘Fat Hits’, to be released on January 15th, 2021 through Ripple Music. With its infectious hooks, knockout clean vocals from drummer Vadim Ambartsumian and unabashed nod to the late 90s, ‘Fat Hits’ conjures up an irresistible stadium-ready power, having you hooked all throughout its forty-one minutes of straight-up, energetic rock that harks back to bands as various as Foo Fighters or Orange Goblin.
