EPISODE · Oct 31, 2025 · 20 MIN
Austen Starr
from Metal Queens Podcast · host Steve Richards
AUSTEN STARR is a reluctant Bostonian with a penchant for self-induced misery. A natural contrarian, she was raised in a household where being a musician was the last thing she was encouraged to do—so, of course, AUSTEN recorded an album with the help of some heavy-hitters from Frontiers and beyond. While AUSTEN considers herself to be an “anxious wreck,” she’s channeled her inner turmoil and contradictions into a compelling musical statement. AUSTEN's penchant for hypocrisy is almost as defined as her narrative voice. After all, she admits to both hating bad grammar and using it in one of her own songs because it fits the meter. When she’s not rocking out on stage or recording, AUSTEN is learning guitar, embracing "emo karaoke nights," and forging ahead with a relentless, albeit trepidatious, determination to carve out her place in the music world. Her debut album 'I Am The Enemy'will be out on February 13, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. Check out her new single " Medusa". #austenstarr #femalefrontedrock #femalesingersongwriter #metalqueen #metalfans #metal #podcast #bostonmusic #rock
