Strange Americans
by Tim Wenger
Strange Americans new album is rockin’. That is the bottom line. The Denver five-piece let their influences fly and mix in their own style, creating a sound that bridges the gap between alternative rock and the roots of the genre. Hints of Muse stand out at times, at others Wilco, and at times they just sit back and let the lead guitar fly for a bit before crashing into home with slam-steady drum beats.
Heavy distortion reigns on the track “Wrong Side,” possibly the album’s strongest offering. At times, they are able to bring forward the simplicity of early punk, but they never lose the echoing touch of modernism that defines Strange Americans’ sound.
