First and Foremost, this band creates music! And good music at that; it's catchy, it's quirky, it's punk, it's rockin and it's pop. Their early lyrics express an intelligently 'stupid on purpose' overtone while their later lyrics take on a more poignant undertone that still manages to be laugh-out-loud funny. The overall concept of the band is a delightfully healthy rebellious parody of the pretentious nature of so many music related figure heads and artists, without being conceited or self-assured about it.
They have been winning over audiences wherever they play, selling their albums wherever they play, and winning over enough people to have Void Avoidance Records (Glasgow, Scotland) release their debut album "Music without Fear of Reprimand" in 2008 and to have Raging Storm Records (Nashville, Tennessee) release their second album "Sports", stateside in the summer of 2009.
We are also very excited to bring to you the amazing first full length from Stria, also available for the first time at this year's Cornerstone Festival. Powerful mainstream ready rock, superb production and a gospel center make this one album not to miss in 2009! Paypal orders will ship by July 7.

Power. Passion. Substance.
These words only begin to describe the music and ministry of Stria, a three-piece Christian alternative rock band from central Florida. Since their formation in late 2007, Stria has developed a strong, addictive, and unique musical style that has been continually turning heads. Blending a variety of sounds and genres, Stria combines heartfelt and vivid lyrics with gripping melodies and hooks. The musical textures created by Stria's Daniel Chapman (guitar, lead vocals), Justin Janetzko (bass, vocals), and Michael Cook (drums) range from heavy riffs and rhythms to soft, melodic movements. The sincerity of the message is clear and hopeful. With a sound and presence similar to the likes of Skillet, Linkin Park, Red, and Finger Eleven, Stria delivers the entire package
Raging Storm's first new release of 2009 comes from our long time friends in
Under Command. Lead as a husband and wife team ministry, Under Command has a long history and continues to push themselves to new limits. Back in the Thick is a great album for those looking for melodic vocals with their metal!

Sams the Hero
In the Spring of 2006, three friends from Virginia Beach finally
got it right. After several years of different bands, names, and
members Sam's the Hero was born. Jeff Riggs, Neil Donohue, and
Corey McCook (who replaced founding drummer, Jon Carolino, in
'07) and their signature brand of catchy pop punk will bring you
back to a time when music was all about how much fun you could
have playing it.
"Our band is really all about loving what we're doing," says
frontman Riggs. "We don't set out to make 'high art' and we're
not trying to change the face of the music scene. We're playing
what we love and having fun doing it." A fact that is quite
apparent as, musically, Sam's the Hero is the equivalent of a
high five."
