The members bonded by taking influences from the same 1970s heavy metal and hard rock acts, such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Deep Purple.
On 9 November 2002, the band supported Paul Di'Anno's Killers and Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction in a gig at Camden Underworld.
Roadstar toured alongside a number of high-profile acts, such as Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Thunder, Status Quo, Meat Loaf, Nickelback and The Darkness.
Their debut full-length album Grand Hotel, produced by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith), was released in 2006.
Details are still quite vague, but the band have parted company with Laurie Mansworth, the former More/Airrace guitarist who for the past seven years has managed them and co-written much of their material.
From what Laurie told Dave Ling, the winners of Classic Rock's Best New Band award plan to continue under a new name, but minus the benefit of his expertise.
