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.
