An indie rock band out of Canada, Stars has carved out a cool niche for itself over the past decade or so during which it has toured and recorded. The band plays the kind of eloquent, sometimes folk-y indie rock for which peers such as Broken Social Scene are known. Its songs have been featured on Queer as Folk, Alias, The O.C., Warehouse 13, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The Vampire Diaries, Skins, Chuck and One Week. (Niesel)
