strung out is just that band that shreds it live, makes the catchiest songs, and keeps it freakin' real. been a favorite of mine for quite some time now.
One of my favourite all time bands. I do have to say though that the last few releases have kind of bummed me out a touch because Jason keeps on seeing about "we".....feels like its become a lot less personal. Same thing happened to Rise Against as well, they started singing songs for people rather than for themselves. Agents of the underground was an amazing record though, but still I miss the personal expressions of twisted and american paradox.
Really love this band -- great video, too. Severely overlooked, hard-working, genuine. If you want a band who can shred and deliver melodies on par with some of the best you've ever heard? They have plenty.
I was surprised this band didn't pop up anywhere on the 'underrated bands thread' the other day. So so so so so good and as mentioned criminaly underrated.
