Strung Out - Prototypes and painkillers
Fat Wreck Chords . 03/27/2009 . written by Oliver . genre: melodic Punkrock . format: CD
Strung Out formed in 92' in Simi Valley, California. Their music
influenced generations of bands and their songs were to find in many skate- and
surf videos. Jason Alexander Cruz (born in 1974) is the lead singer for Strung Out. He also creates the artwork
and designs for Strung Out. Strung Out is producing music for about 17 years.
Everything about the band is just great: Their lead singer has a fantastic voice,
Jordan - their drummer - belongs to the very best drummers that I have ever heard
but I also like the aggressive metal riffs, strong basslines and the great melodies.
Over the years Strung Out recorded 6 full lenght albums and 2 EP's plus various
alternate tracks and several songs that were destined for compilations once.
On Prototypes and Painkillers you find 25 essential tracks, including
demo songs, never released tracks and B-sides. To be exactly you find 11 out-of-print
and seven previously unreleased tracks. About the new compilation Burns explained:
"I think its cool to have the whole thing collectibely as one CD that you
can stick into your player and listen instead of having to hunt around the internet
for these songs". Indeed that's what it is: A great collection of rare and
hard to find songs. When you scroll down you find a table with every song listed
there and the year when it got composed.
