Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor (both lead vocalists and guitarists) met in high school and became great friends. After university, when all their other friends were starting to get jobs, they decided to form a band. Thirteen studio albums followed (so far...).

"Starseed was written in five minutes. Chris [Eacrett] came up with the bass line and the vibe was so heavy we just wrote it." It only took the band twenty more minutes to record the song.
