Gaslight Unleashes Scorching Debut Single Idiot Rock Star

Melbourne’s newest power trio, Gaslight, explodes onto the scene with their blistering debut Idiot Rock Star—a venom-laced, riff-heavy anthem that sets fire to the cult of celebrity and the hollow theatrics of modern fame.

Formed in the aftermath of lockdown, Gaslight is the volatile fusion of three seasoned musicians: frontman Ivan Beecroft, whose solo album The Cynical Express hit #4 on Canada’s iTunes rock charts; drummer Mark Norton, a thunderous force rooted in metal precision; and Nikk Kourmouzis, a bassist/keyboardist whose pedigree includes sharing stages with 80s icons like Pseudo Echo. Together, they distil the fury of 70s punk, the grit of 90s grunge, and the anthemic drive of 80s rock into something raw, real, and unmistakably their own.

‘‘ Idiot Rock Star—a venom-laced, riff-heavy anthem that sets fire to the cult of celebrity and the hollow theatrics of modern fame.

Idiot Rock Star is no throwaway debut. It kicks in with a no-prisoners rock intro and barrels into a chorus so catchy it practically punches through the speakers. Lyrically, it’s a razor-sharp takedown of fame’s most grotesque stereotypes—equal parts sneer, satire, and swagger.

With this first release, Gaslight doesn’t just arrive—they detonate. And this is only the beginning.

Gaslight is here to torch the clichés and reignite real rock.

Idiot Rock Star is at radio today and available to stream and download now.
