***For 35 years, STRUNG OUT has been banging out their signature brand of intense, frenetic, metal-influenced punk; elevating the band to elite status, and playing a significant role in redefining the genre. Strung Out's 10th studio album Dead Rebellion packs that same familiar punch, but with a new focus on melody, showing a band that is still evolving more than three decades into their distinguished career. Take, for instance, the way opener "Future Ghosts" begins in a frenzy of riffs and drumbeats before settling into a kind of hypnotic aggression. Or how the frenetic undercurrent of "White Owls" quietens down, its power condensed into a hushed whisper before once again soaring off in an impassioned burst of emotion. Similarly, "Life You Bleed" tiptoes quietly at first but then accelerates into a fully-fledged rock anthem. Elsewhere, "Cages" is a vicious indictment of the fractious, polarized and technology-driven nature of society, while "Empire Down" is a self- reflective ode about living up to the pressures and expectations of being in this band. Produced, mixed, and recorded by Shawn McGee; Dead Rebellion might represent a new chapter for Strung Out, but it's guided by the same principles that have always driven them. While Strung Out has never been known as a political band, this record—like all Strung Out records—has captured the zeitgeist and the self- destructive political climate perfectly. Overtly political or otherwise, Dead Rebellion is nevertheless a record informed by and reacting to the world we live in and all the experience...

***For anyone who has listened to punk rock over the past couple decades, STRUNG OUT needs no introduction. Their signature brand of intense, frenetic, metal-influenced punk has elevated them to elite status and played a significant role in redefining the genre. From their FAT debut Another Day in Paradise to 2015’s Transmission.Alpha.Delta, and 2018’s expansive acoustic EP Black Out the Sky; Strung Out's consistency in pushing the envelope is unmatched. If you listened to their new album Songs of Armor and Devotion with no prior knowledge of Strung Out you probably wouldn’t guess that the California band has been together for almost 30 years—such is the intensity and fresh energy of these 13 songs. Produced by CAMERON WEBB, who was behind the helm of 2009’s Agents of the Underground, it’s a record that brims with the same ferocious fire the band had at the very start of its career, but which also demonstrates how far the California five-piece have evolved as songwriters, musicians and people.

***Over their tenure as the progenitors of the metal-infused punk sound, STRUNG OUT have yet to get complacent. Instead, like a championship fighter that gets stronger with every round, they continually unleash a battering assault of technical guitar work and gripping melodies. The band’s latest full-length (7th overall), Agents of the Underground, is a triumphant defense of the title they’ve held for years. With blisteringly fast riffs, crushing rhythms, and powerful vocals, Agents of the Underground is quintessential Strung Out, yet, as with each succeeding release, the band manage to evolve their sound. This time around the band enlisted the producing talents of CAMERON WEBB (Motorhead, Social Distortion, Danzig, Pennywise) and from the very first moments of the album the success of the collaboration is overtly apparent. With passionate melodies that recall Strung Out’s earlier albums and the ruthless aggressive music that has progressed over their recent releases, Agents of the Underground can be hailed as the perfect culmination of all their past efforts.
