Sydney rockers, Strangers will deliver their fresh take on Aussie rock to the masses this summer on an extensive nine-date album tour that stretches from the east coast of Australia all the way to the west coast. Produced by Tom Larkin (Shihad, The Getaway Plan, Calling All Cars), the bands debut release ‘Persona Non Grata’ is laden with guitar-driven, rollicking riffs that certainly a dynamic and confident debut.
Schooled in rock by masters of the art, The Darkness, Calling All Cars and Good Charlotte when they opened huge venues on several Australian dates, some serious Triple J support during 2012 and a whirlwind of Sydney/Melbourne residencies, including a sellout Lansdowne headlining show, a showcase at the 2012 Big Sound music conference and just-announced spot on the illustrious SXSW conference in Austin, Texas for 2013, next year is clearly set to be a massive year for the band who have just celebrated their second birthday!
The Strangers live experience is one of Australia’s finest. Noisy and visceral, with swagger that TheMusic.com.au insists “will hold some serious weight when they inevitably snatch Birds Of Tokyo’s crown”, it’s also drawn its fair share of comparisons to Kyuss and The Bronx, and that’s just fine with them.
‘Persona Non Grata’ may roughly translate to ‘an unwelcome stranger’, but everyone will be welcome at these rock shows that boast heart, soul and most importantly, balls, but we suggest you check this our for yourself on one of their following dates in early 2013:
