Colorado Springs alt-rock band Stray Suns will be releasing their debut alt rock album Until Further Notice on Friday, January 19th. Stray Suns have gained a strong following through their energetic live shows and “roast-like” humor on stage. Performing constantly has paid off for the band; playing venues ranging from The Pepsi Center to various local festivals.
Stray Suns’ recent release, “Lie To You,” has received airplay from a variety of outlets due to its universal appeal with all rock listeners from Pearl Jam enthusiasts, to Dave Matthews Band tailgaters. Listen to the track now below!
Until Further Notice hosts a variety of influence including an alternative rock staple, that is found heavily in the track “Scream.” The track “Drink, Dance, Funk” includes horn section grooves that add hints of inspiration from R&B and funk. The album then features a track that softens into a more mellow, modern, acoustic rock track called “Hellfire.” The song, “What If,” models a classic pop rock love song while the title track of the album, “Until Further Notice,” adds a Neo Soul flavor to the mix. Stray Suns found inspiration in their album artwork through their post-practice video game sessions and wanted to represent that casual hang-out vibe. Not afraid to poke fun at themselves, these self-described nerds represent their art through a classic retro arcade concept – just put your headphones in and game on!
Stray Suns play songs to move people. Combining elements from funk, rock, jazz, and many more, Stray Suns creates a style that uniquely captures an audience and never lets go. The alt-rock group based out of Colorado Springs, CO, is comprised of Jake Oakey (vocals, rhythm guitar), Addison Slone (lead guitar), Tim Miller (bass), and Joe Della Penna (drums). You can hear their different approach throughout the night: one song may be an up-tempo 70’s funk homage, while the next tune might be a progressive jazz/R&B mashup. Stray Suns never disappoints with their musicianship and creativity on stage.
Until Further Notice will be out on January 19th. Until then, stay connected with the band on Facebook for more updates and new music.
