Been Stellar joins host Stephen Kallao

Been Stellar was started by Sam Slocum and Skyler Napp, who met as teenagers in Michigan before attending NYU. With shades of The Strokes and Interpol, they’ve become one of the biggest rising stars in the New York music scene. After opening for The 1975, the band signed with Dirty Hit Records to release their debut album, Scream from New York, NY. On the World Cafe, Been Stellar performs a mini concert of songs from the album.
