Check out Something to Remember of McAllen, TX in a STRIPPED MUZIK session with Sun Fish records.
The first time I heard STR at Monster Car Wash in Edinburg, TX I thought to myself, "wow, these guys are pretty cool." I didn't know it then, but they are now one of my favorite bands. The first thing that stand out is their vocals. TJ does an amazing jobs keeping those vocals nice and pretty. The seconds thing that stand out is the quality of the lyrics. They're not just playing love songs... they're lyrics are clever, playful and deep; however, they are not afraid to get grungy and aggressive.
The rest of the music blends in perfectly. TJ's guitar playing is augmented by Fabian's amazing leads, fills and solos. When Fabian steps into the spot-light for a solo, however, he becomes the center of attention and takes over the show like a true Rock Star. He can make his guitar sing, scream or crunch, but they are made to sound even tighter thanks to their glue-like rhythm section, Robby (drums, who also does background vocals) and B (bass).
Their unique and powerful sound is wonderfully matched by their VERY alive live show. The heart and passion they spill onstage is definitively something that makes this band worth checking out. Their studio work is amazing, but this is one of those bands that you MUST check them out live. They deliver live what they lay down in the studio. Overall, I give this band a 9 out of 10. Great music and a "must check out" live show. Do yourselves a favor and check these guys out live as soon as possible.
