STRANGLEWEEDS
Band/artist history
Strangleweed IS a top-quality, American, mainstream rock & roll band.
They perform THEIR MUSIC with a hard edge and unshakeable intent. This no apologies, no punch’s pulled band from Dallas, Texas, is reminiscent of early 70's grooves with the conviction of the mid 90's rock movement.
STRANGLEWEED brings to mind an organic, yet defined sound with a lyrical spirit that is mixed with the prowess of many of the late 90's alternative/ power pop/rock blends And still retains its modern charm.
Jokingly referred to as their “Greatest Hits Debut”, these boys have braved the southern rock label and established a declaration that “Rock is not dead!” The Debut album “Present 2 Pastime” is a landmark statement to not only rock fans, but music lovers everywhere.
Staking out their territory with this memorable masterpiece is only the icing on the cake.
This bastard son of 6 years of rock and roll sweat was cast in to its distinctive 2" analog sound recorded at the legendary Palmyra Studios in Palmer, Texas.
Engineer and Producer Paul “Pappy” Middleton (Erika Badu, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaac) Inflects his own lick of elegance while letting these boys engrave their gritty desire Into 15 predatory tracks that will leave you yearning for a more.
This rock and roll weed keeps on growing by leaps and bounds regardless of the medium it soils.
From a crumpled handbills to lights, cameras, and international exposure, This band is headed for The Big Time.
