Audio Biography
Strange Americans formed in 2010 and began writing music deeply
rooted in Americana, while remaining true to an innovative spirit.
Classic guitars, an energetic rhythm section, three–part vocal harmony
and tasteful folk colorings paint the soundscape of A Royal Battle, the
full–length record released June 2012. The band was featured at
Denver Day of Rock and the UMS in 2011 and 2012, joined The
Knew for the annual Knew Year‟s Eve 2011, and appeared at Faceman‟s Waltz 2012. Strange Americans has shared the stage with acts
including Yukon Blonde, Trampled By Turtles, Cory Branan, The
Fling, Air Dubai, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, and Nick
Urata (DeVotchKa). A Royal Battle was recorded with Grammy
Award-winning engineer John Macy and the band is featured on Altitude TV‟s On Stage.

Courtesy The Marquee:
“4.5 out of 5 stars... It‟s fairly astonishing that A Royal Battle is Strange Americans‟
debut album… gracefully straddling a rickety picket fence of 1970s FM rock on one
side and outlaw country on the other, teetering back and forth just enough to keep
it consistently fresh and interesting. It‟s truly a wonderful album for such a young
group.” Read more…
Courtesy Listen Up Denver:
It‟s not often that a local band‟s debut CD gets me really excited, humming along to
melodies, and even singing it‟s praises, but that‟s exactly what happened a couple of
weeks ago… do yourself a favor and pick-up A Royal Battle, it‟ll make you smile!”

Courtesy Denver Westword:
“A Royal Battle is certainly a release in which the members of Strange Americans
can take pride. The group succeeded in injecting a lot of fervor of the live shows
into the more rocking cuts. But it also had little difficulty reeling things in on slower
tunes… After all, this isn‟t exactly your everyday, standard brand of Americana.”

Courtesy 303 Magazine:
“After establishing themselves as one of Denver‟s bands to watch through live
shows… Strange Americans have finally released a full-length album. A Royal Battle
is a soaring debut that mixes country, Americana and rock „n‟ roll to create a sound
that is at once familiar and exciting. For a debut, Strange Americans have surpassed
expectations. In fact, they may have put out one of the best local releases of the
year.” Read more…
Courtesy IndieBitches.com:
“Strange Americans are what would be created if Lucero had a baby with Ryan Adams‟ album Fire and Ashes and had Springsteen playing while in the act. It isn‟t
boring, it‟s not haphazard, doesn‟t drag, and most importantly it‟s put together very,
very well. I suggest everyone check these guys out if a folky kind of rockish sound is
something that appeals to you and if it isn‟t, check them out anyways because they‟ll
probably change your mind.” Read More…
