April 5 street date. For 35 years, Strung Out have 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. 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. And while they have 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 and wisdom the band has attained over the years. It's also one built on the unwavering principles that Strung Out has had at their core from the very beginning.

Seven full length albums into the game, STRUNG OUT still has something to show the scene they so feverishly helped build. On their latest work, Blackhawks Over Los Angeles, they once again collaborate with producer Matt Hyde (of Slayer and No Doubt production fame) to create what is truly the band’s finest work to date. Developing a more focused and driven approach to their song writing on their last album Exile In Oblivion, the band quickly captured the positive attention of critics, in addition to receiving accolades from both old and new fans around the globe. On Blackhawks Over Los Angeles STRUNG OUT effortlessly perfect the melding of technical musicianship (rooted in metal) within a melodious structure. STRUNG OUT has never been a band that succumbs to the trends of the moment. They have always forged an original sound and with Hyde at the helm, Blackhawks proves to be the band’s most impressive and passionate album.
