Alt-rock trailblazer Chloe Star stakes her claim as one of the most compelling new voices in rock with the release of her fiery 5-track EP APT 1101. Led by the punchy, confessional single “Bad Habit”, this project is equal parts reckoning and resurrection—a bold, blistering snapshot of a young artist transforming pain into power.
Born of Indigenous and Persian heritage and raised between San Bernardino and Los Angeles, Chloe’s identity fuels her fearless artistic ethos. She channels the ghost of Janis Joplin, the grit of Kurt Cobain, and the confessional soul of Amy Winehouse, while injecting a distinctly modern, genre-blurring attitude à la Willow and Billie Eilish. With APT 1101, she’s not just making music—she’s building a world.
“Bad Habit” strikes first with attitude and intention. Anchored by distorted guitars and a beat that throbs with tension, the song tackles self-sabotage and cyclical damage with unflinching honesty. “Sometimes, you are the problem,” Chloe admits, and in that truth lies both chaos and catharsis. Produced by Alan Markley (known for work with Jack Antonoff) and backed by a top-tier studio band, “Bad Habit” fuses classic rock muscle with modern edge and lyrical depth.
Throughout APT 1101, Chloe crafts a personal sonic diary. From heartbreak to defiance to identity reclamation, the EP’s themes orbit the idea of transformation, both emotional and existential. Aptly titled, APT 1101 isn’t just an address; it’s a metaphor for the inner sanctuary where you fall apart, put yourself back together, and decide who you want to become.
Fresh off a Pride tour that lit up cities across the U.S. and U.K., Chloe’s live show has proven just as explosive as her studio work, electric, inclusive, and unapologetically loud.
APT 1101 confirms what fans are already shouting from the pit: Chloe Star isn’t following trends, she’s making her own. And rock music is all the better for it.
