Friday, October 24th, 2025 – São Paulo rock band StarAce officially arrive with Real, their debut album featuring 12 tracks of uncompromising rock authenticity. The album drops today alongside its title track “Real,” a blazing statement about truth, perseverance, and staying genuine in an artificial world. Listen in full HERE Produced by David Frangioni (Aerosmith, KISS, Ringo Starr), Real spans genres from hard rock anthems to folk-tinged ballads, country-western influences to blues-rock swagger. The collection represents songs that capture StarAce’s evolution from underground Brazilian rockers to international artists ready to make their mark. “We’ve worked so hard on this album — and it finally became Real!” explains frontman Julio Starace. “This record is the culmination of years of work that began just after the Covid-19 pandemic, when we started recording the first demos for ‘Mystical Cat’ and ‘Dark Side.’ Each song received special care — crafted and refined from the very bones of the lyrics and arrangements, all the way through the mixing and mastering process.” The title track “Real” serves as a mission statement. More than a song, it’s StarAce’s proclamation that authenticity wins over artifice, that truth lives in music, and that every goal is only worth pursuing if it’s genuine. With blazing riffs and striking arrangements, the track invites listeners to move forward without masks or limitations. “In a time where everyday we have AI, we always have REAL. Our song, our world, our lives. All REAL,” notes Julio about the single’s contemporary relevance. Producer David Frangioni, whose credits include Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, and Scorpions, recognized something special in the Brazilian band’s material: “REAL is as real as rock ‘n’ roll gets, from the beginning to the end of the album, put on your seatbelt! These songs are a story that everyone can relate to, because they’re REAL!” The album showcases the full StarAce lineup: brothers Julio (vocals/guitar), Luiz (bass), and Thomaz Starace (drums), plus guitarist Chris Dias and keyboardist/vocalist Bia Tucci. Their chemistry translates across Real’s diverse sonic palette, which Julio describes as exploring “themes like the overload of information, the pursuit of knowledge, philosophy, power, fast communication, technology, beauty, mysticism, love — and pure Rock and Roll!” Recorded primarily with live instruments to capture organic energy while embracing modern production techniques, Real demands to be experienced from start to finish. The band will bring their explosive live show to European audiences this fall, delivering the kind of incendiary performances that have made them a must-see act. Spanish and Portuguese dates begin November 26th in Madrid, where audiences can expect the raw power and electric chemistry that transforms these album tracks into full-contact rock experiences. Tickets available HERE. |
