Star Card – Trash World

Today, NYC based Star Card share new single, “Lena,” and announce new album Trash World, due out November 14, 2025 via Already Dead Records

The band says, “Lena” is about trying to break out of stifling circumstances. Some circumstances, even with encouragement, can feel impossible to leave, like you’re trying to escape a fish farm”

Calley (vocals/guitar) and Brendan (drums) met in 2022 in an encounter fueled by offerings to Elliot Smith in a quest for perfect bandmates. Brendan invited Calley to play guitar in his heavy art rock band, Receive, and as the band grew closer, Calley shared songs from their lo-fi noise pop project, Star Card, and a second band formed. They released the Freak World EP in May 2023 to commemorate Calley’s early bedroom recordings and started to write full band arrangements to play around NYC bars and basements as a four-piece rock band.

Led by Calley, the current iteration of the band includes Jake Whitener (Sunshine Convention, Kira Skye) on guitar, Jackson Tarricone (Voicemail) on bass, and Brendan Landis (Receive, Hey Exit, Glifter) on drums. Trash World was self-produced and recorded at Headless Studios in Brooklyn and mixed and mastered by Andrew Gerard Nault (drab, Lesser Glow, Forn) in Boston and released by Already Dead Tapes on November 14th, 2025.
