Release Notes:
When speaking of American Reggae music, it is viewed as an imitation of the true
Jamaican art form. The main focus tends to be on creating a likeness of the
sound, many times abandoning the passion and message that initially drove the
music. People raised in the United States do not have one particular culture to
identify with; therefore leaving plenty of room for many cultures and ideals to
melt together. Stranger is a solid example of what this melting can create and
offer the rest of the world. Based out of the South Bay of San Diego,
neighboring the highest crossed border in the World, the band draws influence
from the diversity of the people around them as well as each other. It is
multicultural and musical diversity that gives Stranger a unique, yet true,
presence that is turning heads nation-wide and abroad. Strangers sound is known
for blending Reggae Roots with many styles ranging from (but not limiting to)
Rock to Hip-Hop to Blues while offering the listener Universal messages of life,
love and spirituality. The live shows that Stranger produces are power packed
and each performance is individually unique. The bands chemistry on-stage and
off cannot be duplicated, with each member acting as an irreplaceable element to
the formula. Since the seed was planted in 2000, the band has been growing with
a strong fan base that they feel truly blessed to have. While remaining
optimistic for the future, Stranger is well aware of possible "stumbling blocks"
that lie ahead and take each and every one as a learning experience
