The earliest historical references of Strainful Train can be dated back to 2012 years after Christ. In the written heritages it is described, that Benny, the burek maker, traveled to the island Poel in the Baltic Sea, North Gemany, to learn the fine arts of boat building. During his apprenticeship he met Hendrik and Tim, two local students and no goods and he noticed, that they all shared a taste in music and in beer. So they formed a band, gave it an unspeakable name and retreated in a local barn to write songs and philosophize about life. After five years they found their findings worthy to be shared with the world. So from then on, whenever they found time, they traveled through Europe so that every cosy, shady, chummy or smelly pub they encountered could be granted one to sixteen hours of the choicest handmade music. Until the throats were coarse and the bassist was drunk, even if the barkeeper was the only audience. During their travels they found two Irish musicians, Denise the fiddler and Brian the drummer, willing to support them live and in the studio. An album was recorded in 2017, another one in 2019 and if they didn’t split up yet, they might be playing in the bar right now, right around the corner.
