Goldstar is a three-piece rock band based out of Greensboro, NC that builds its sound upon melody and harmony. The music of Goldstar can be described as a swirl from a daydream to exhilaration. “We really like to connect with our audience,” says singer, Taylor Mabe. “And love to provide a high energy, intense show while performing music we love.” Influenced by bands ranging from The Cure to Jimmy Eat World, Goldstar has developed a diverse and original sound in rock music.

The members of Goldstar include: Taylor Mabe who is the guitarist and primary singer of the band, Jonathan Beck who sings occasionally and plays bass, and Jamie Darst, the drummer of the band. The guys have been playing together since early 1994, but pursuing other projects. Jonathan and Taylor playing in the band Waiting For Wednesday, while Jamie played drums with Shrapnel. All three members of Goldstar were in the ever so popular underground band Viewpoint. Taylor is also currently writing and performing with the band Swift.

With the help of The Basement and Blue Wind Studios, the band is now beginning the process of releasing their first full-length release, and with ten tracks already recorded and mixed, the album was quoted as “…rock solid from start to finish” by Jamie King of The Basement Recordings/Swift. Staying very busy performing, Goldstar has begun to build great local and regional followings in and around the Carolinas.
