Aaron Buchanan & The Cult Classics are a British rock band formed in 2016 by former Heaven's Basement vocalist of international acclaim[1][2][3][4] and Red Bull Records alumni [5] Aaron Buchanan. Band members include Aaron Buchanan (Vocals), Laurie Buchanan (Guitar and Vocals), Tom McCarthy (Guitar), Chris Guyatt (Bass) and Kev Hickman (Drums). The band cite 90's grunge rock influences and came together for first rehearsals in June 2016 [6], this was followed up with a full UK tour alongside InMe starting on 17 October 2016 through to October 23 [7] in support of forthcoming album "The Man With Stars On His Knees".
The Man With Stars On His Knees | Debut Album
After departing Heaven's Basement in late 2015[8], Buchanan went into the studio to record "The Man With Stars On His Knees". The album was produced by life-long friend and producer James Curtis-Thomas at Plus 11 Studios (now re-branded as Essex Recording Studio). "The Man With Stars On His Knees" was predominantly written by Buchanan in the United Kingdom with many of the vocals and song structures put together at a friends house in Chambers Flat, Brisbane, Australia. The album features Aaron Buchanan (Vocals/Drums/Guitar/Bass), James Curtis-Thomas (Drums), Laurie Buchanan (Guitars/Vocals) and Ryan Woods (Guitar/Bass) and was tracked in the original Plus 11 Studio location in Boreham. The first single video, "All The Things You've Said And Done"[9][10] was released on 12 October 2016 initially on Facebook[11] and shortly after on YouTube[12]. Collectively the video has over 40,000 views to date. The album features 10 songs and has a run-time of 34 minutes and 30 seconds. The front-cover artwork was created by Sam Mayle and inspired by a portrait Ryan Woods had shown Buchanan that Mayle had created years earlier featuring Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance.

Freddie Mercury Tribute | Media Response
Buchanan has often cited influence and appreciation of Freddie Mercury of Queen [13]. On 5th September 2016, The Cult Classics Facebook page posted a video of Aaron Buchanan & Tom McCarthy[14] in celebration of what would have been Mercury's 70th birthday, and a tribute to what would have been both 25 years since his death and 30 years since the Queen at Wembley gig of 1986. They performed acoustically a rendition of Love of My Life (Queen song) (from the 1975 album A Night At The Opera), a song performed regularly and internationally by Queen in their hey-day. The rendition was inspired by the Live at Wembley '86 performance of the song and achieved over 50,000 hits in just a matter of days to exceptional media response[15] [16][17].
