Sterling is Chicago’s finest avant-garde instrumental rock quartet. Sterling was founded by the group’s rich background in composition, art and aesthetic.

Sterling is well known in Chicago, across the US, and in many parts of Europe for their moody and bombastic soundtrack performances. Their first album Murderer was extremely well received by those that buying it from the band on tour or from the soon-to-disappear Swey Records. Now this beautiful second album features Jim DelFosse’s carefully constructed guitar and striking grand piano compositions, Eric Chaleff’s dark layers of fluid and brooding guitar lines, and Tony Lazzara’s [Atombombpocketknife, ex A-Set] drum kit that flows from absolutely crushing to whispering and fragile.
