The Strangers is an existential, alt.-indie band from Long Island, New York, comprised of brothers, Peter and Christian Groffmann. The band’s “walk in the park” sound centers around the vocals and guitar of Peter (left on album), and the guitar and piano of Christian (right on album). 

In the spring of 2019, they released their debut album, Blithe, featuring 10 original songs and a cover of John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” Blithe ’s innocence and warmth are attributable to the combination of Peter’s romantic lyrics, and Christian’s sound engineering. They describe their genre as “art music, but alternative simplifies things.” The band recorded the album in their pastel yellow, makeshift home studio in between college semesters from 2017-2019.

The Stranger’s musical influences include Bob Dylan, John Denver, the Beatles, the Cure, and Tom DeLonge. The band’s message is derived from the wisdom literature of the Old Testament (Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes), and the Gospels.

Formed in december,2009...Like it always is,Musicians from various musical backgrounds and influences conjoined to make it big and collectively spread a sole purpose !! The band took to playing metalcore initially,till they rooted out and brought in a progressive side of thought to their music,Hence,becoming a Progressive Metalcore band !
It was not only about heavy music making or obscure lyrical skill put into their songs but,was and always will be to cogitate on getting to the "most obvious"(things) yet "never thought of" ideologies of life and everything that surrounds being.
Individually,as well as a band,the main aim was always to make it big, 

So,Colossal Figures they wanted to be and Colossal Figures they are !
