This is an intensely artistic, fiercely independent band of friends... This is a tightly bound circle of musicians caught in a crazy and intriguing love affaire with self exploration... This is an experience which exceeds today's common boundaries of musical and emotional expression... This is a group which not only feverishly self-releases its own critically acclaimed recordings and tours relentlessly, but recognizes that developing and nurturing deeply personal relationships with fans is the completion of a fulfilling and essential cycle... This is a band of artists whose effect is instantly felt... This is a movement that is impossible to ignore... This is a band so genuinely powerful and alive... This is music heard once and never forgotten... This is new but familiar...
Crushing in its intensity yet somehow insanely elegant... This is STRATA.
"It's all about the music" - that's easy to say - we've all heard it from hypocrites and sincere artists alike - but experience this band live or crank up any one of their songs on your stereo - you'll know it in an instant... this band doesn't need to say "it's all about the music" - you'll say it for them - you'll feel it through them...
The industry is outnumbered... their factories are burning down. This is STRATA.
STRATA formed in the summer of 2000.
STRATA is: Eric Victorino, vocals. Ryan Hernandez, guitar. Hrag Chanchanian, bass. Adrian Robison, drums.
