SEATTLE - January 31, 2018 - Game music cover band LONELYROLLINGSTARSis thrilled to release their second album, SUGARBURGER, in USB-equipped slapbracelet and digital formats. Drawing their name from the Katamari Damacy series,synth metal band LONELYROLLINGSTARS has earned itself the adoration of fansaround the cosmos for its selection of stellar yet obscure source material and itsquirky on-stage visual presentations.

SUGARBURGER is nowavailable on limited edition slap bracelet for $10 USD as well as digitally for name-your-price on Bandcamp:

"The songs that we selected for SUGARBURGER came less out of a group thinkdiscussion and more out of individual wish-list fulfillment," commentsLONELYROLLINGSTARS bassist George "norg" Nowik. "The slap bracelet ideacame from Grant 'Stemage' Henry, who said in a passing a few years back 'Hey,wouldn't it be cool if we did slap bracelets?' Fast forward to last year when we sawfor the first time that you could embed a flash thumb drive into the end of a slapbracelet just as we were finishing the album, and the choice was very clear: SlapBracelet Albums. The world will never be the same again."To drive home LONELYROLLINGSTAR's eclectic track selection and song titles,SUGARBURGER rolls up the following majestic ditties for fans to enjoy:

"We all know that feeling when you attend a rock concert and afterward you findyourself saying 'Gee, I sure wish that concert had incorporated vastly greateramounts of rainbows and comfort,'" adds keys player Chris "Cubosh" Dlugosz. "Thisconfluence of like-minds had yielded the planetary alignment necessary for the fivemembers of LONELYROLLINGSTARS to agree to join forces despite livingthousands of miles apart. We loved this idea of comfort, like some kind ofbackwards punk rock deviation from "the norm." A few hundred overtly organizedand colorized shared spreadsheets later, and voila: we emerged as a viable force inthe game music community and our flag color was all of the colors."
