Stars Crashing Cars is the recording and performing moniker for songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Derek Schanche. Lie To The Sun is his brand new album filled with an indelible brand of melodic rock that made his previous band, Senor Happy, one of the most frequently licensed bands by network television programs. Derek’s heart-on-his-sleeve writing style, passionate vocals and innate ability to craft catchy, instantly memorable pop/rock songs - with plenty of loud guitars - recalls the best of Alex Chilton, Paul Westerberg, Jeff Tweedy and Elliot Smith, among others.

Derek also co-wrote the award-winning theme song to the popular CBS TV show, “Rules of Engagement.” Stand-out tracks from Lie To The Sun include “Sativa,” “City Girl,” and “Summer Nails.”
