STRANGE DAZE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM IN NOVEMBER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

Minneapolis, MN\u2019s modern rock band Strange Daze is set to release its third album, Shine Through<\/em>, on November 11, 2013, via Rock Ridge Music.\u00a0 Shine Through <\/em>is an anthemic collection of modern rock forged in fiery emotional urgency.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The band\u2019s fateful career moment came when engineer\/producer Brian Johnson\u2014who helmed the sessions for the band\u2019s first two albums\u2014passed along a CD to 38 Special keyboardist Bobby Capps. \u00a0Impressed, Capps shared it with 3 Doors Down guitarist Chris Henderson, his partner in Nashville, TN-based Rivergate Studios. Capps immediately signed on to produce Strange Daze with Henderson\u2019s and Johnson\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Says Henderson of Strange Daze:\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019re a refreshing band! Love the vibe and the songwriting. Scott’s vocals are very powerful.\u201d\u00a0 Capps concurs, adding, \u201cStrange Daze was a pleasant surprise in the studio! It’s been a while since I’ve come across a band that has such a tight grip on straightforward rock music. Lyrically and musically, they do not try to overcomplicate the listener. They are a truly talented band and prove it live every time they hit the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album has a crisp and punchy production aesthetic, highlighting the group\u2019s expansive dynamic range. \u201cThe biggest thing I loved about the producers is that they gave their opinion, but they never forced their hand on who we are. They just made our music come alive,\u201d Strange Daze guitarist\/vocalist Eric Moudry says. Kirk Kelsey, best known for co-producing\/engineering landmark albums for Creed and 3 Doors Down, stokes the album\u2019s burning potency with his richly dimensional mix engineering.<\/p>\n

Strange Daze has gigged extensively throughout Minnesota and the Midwest, averaging 100-plus shows a year and selling out of its first two CDs, exceeding 10,000 in sales with no label involvement or formal distribution outlet. \u00a0The quartet reached #9 on CMJ<\/em>‘s Top 200, beating out superstar artists like No Doubt and OutKast. Additionally, Strange Daze has charted on 30-plus stations. The band has been played on more than 250 stations in nationwide.<\/p>\n
