STRANGELIGHT - "Digressions from Sierra Leone"

STRANGELIGHT: Oakland supergroup reveals "Digressions from Sierra Leone" single from upcoming debut album

"The twisty, smart, enlivening, and all around killer debut from post-hardcore expanders Strangelight... A sonic attack that combines the best aspects of the members other bands (Transistor Transistor, Kowloon Walled City, True Cross) with an extremely welcome and heavy dose of Propagandhi and Hot Snakes-esque rock n’ roll perversion."
–Decibel

From Oakland, California, Strangelight rips the gate right off its hinges with Adult Themes – ten glorious chunks of anthemic rock n' roll by way of teeth-gnashing hardcore punk. The band consists of current and former members of Kowloon Walled City, Less Art, Transistor Transistor, Swingin' Utters, Cobra Skulls, and more.

Of the new single, guitarist/vocalist Nat Coghlan says, "It’s about musicians, actors, celebrities, whoever, benefiting from 'bringing attention' to an issue while not really doing anything to help it... and the irony of how the issue helps out the artist in question more than vice versa."

As Decibel reports, Strangelight's ruckus is likely to dazzle fans of Hot Snakes and Propagandhi as well as Coghlan's former outfit, the beloved Transistor Transistor, whose last album, 2008's Ruined Lives, Decibel called "feverish post-hardcore" and Revolver Magazine described as "discordant riffs and manic beats that unapologetically put the rock back in 'noise rock.'"

Adult Themes was engineered and mixed by Kowloon Walled City's Scott Evans and mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away).
