Strangers Family Band

Reviews:

"Continuing the sick streak of surprise discoveries Ive made lately were local openers Strangers, who were the lovechild of the Black Angels and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, which therefore equals totally dope. Their all psych-rock sound came in swirls of echoey, reverbed sweetness. Unquestionably one of the most exciting local bands Ive heard in a long time. With the similarly good Future on Films in Space emerging as well, psychedelic may just be the next microtrend in the Orlando underground"-Orlando Weekly

"Ladies and gentlemen, hang onto your egos - here’s a band with a sonic arsenal of sounds to blow you clean away. Strangers are a 5-piece set up from sunny Florida that make guitars and drums and blissed-out vocals sound like a blast. The underground psychedelic scene might be awash with uninspiring Brian Jonestown Massacre and BRMC impersonators, but every once in a while you stumble across a band like this who sound as if they’ve got the capabilities to push that genre furthr than it’s ever gone before. “High Low” (all the more frightening in that it’s but a demo) has got everything you could ever want to hear in a space-jam anthem - it’s fuzzy, and dirty, and just really fucking beautiful. And if this is where they’re up to at the demo stage then surely it’s but a matter of time before these guys become as interstellar as the music they’re making."-Daydream Generation

"Strangers are becoming known for their spacey shows and raised profile amid a local psychedelic resurgence...Strangers would be the band to lead this revoultion."-Reax Magazine

"If you dig the spacey, droning haze of NYC’s seminal Velvet Underground, Tx.’s primordial psych-pioneers the 13th Floor Elevators or even the dreamy revivalist mantras of such modern-day revisionists as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Brian Jonestown Massacre or The Warlocks, this buzzworthy Orlando quintet will make you smile, nod out and fumble for a massive glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Their informed, crate-digger take on a genre which seems on the cusp of a major resurgence has all the lazy bombast of The Jesus & March Chain at their least “mature”: it’s a numbing wall of fuzzed-out bass, distorted guitar, combo organ and hypnotic, pounding drums drenched in echo and insouciantly bedraggled." - Savannah's Connect (read less)
