StrateJacket Releases "BAD START" + Debut Album To Arrive In 2024!
SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 [Los Angeles, CA] — California - based punk rock trio StrateJacket have released their latest single “BAD START" via EDGEOUT Records with an accompanying lyric video. This is the first single off their debut album, due for release in 2024, and is also featured in EA Sports’ NHL24 Soundtrack.
The NHL24 Soundtrack features 36 tracks of unprecedented diversity, attitude, superstar acts and explosive new artists. It’s a slapshot of a soundtrack that lights the lamp, lays on the lumber, and hits stronger than ever before.
In addition to the lyric video, the young trio have also just released a performance video for “Bad Start.” Filmed at East Iris Studios in Nashville, TN, the video showcases the band doing what they do best and that's play their hearts out.
The band themselves haven’t had the best start. Forming in 2019, their fresh journey came to a sudden halt when the pandemic struck. While this would discourage most from continuing, the young trio refused to give up and used the downtime stuck in their homes to work on their band and constantly write music and try out things and after mixing their own outside influences together, they were able to find their catchy, fast, and energetic sound.
After some time they would finally play shows in the way an underground punk band would do it, driving all over San Francisco to play under bridges, on beaches, and in warehouses. This approach earned them a dedicated following and eventually caught the eye of EDGEOUT Records, who signed them in 2021. StrateJacket recorded their debut album at Vancouver's Armoury Studios in November of 2022 with the Juno/BMI-winning Canadian producer/songwriter Brian Howes (Hinder, Skillet, Boys Like Girls). They also secured the Grammy® winning Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Muse, Prince) to mix the album.
StrateJacket’s new single “BAD START” is available on all streaming platforms now via EDGEOUT/UMG/UMe. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on their debut album that’s expected to come out in 2024.
