Breaking Bad

Overload! (Ft. Steve Lacy on Bass and Jameel Bruner on Keys)

Spit me out. 
Let me down again. 
And I don't feel like I mean anything. 
She's just lying there, thinking about something. 
I just broke the crown, but I don't want to be king. 

I don't want to feel like I've been gone. 
I don't want to feel like I've done wrong. 
I don't want to look into your eyes and feel I've been gone for a while. 
And I never lived inside this home. 
Rather burn it down and dig a hole. 
Bury all the stars up in the sky. 
I've been gone for a while. 

Tell her your motives. 
He'll crush your plans. 
I'm the moon that watches chaos until the night ends. 
I don't recognize you anymore. 
The touch unfamiliar, the excitement bored. 
I will never understand what it meant, 
To be the last good thought in your head. 

Wake up, I don't want to shout. 
Everybody knows what we're all about. 
We're all about nothing, we're all about sacred. 
Everything that's sacred means nothing to you.

Been Gone For A While

Stranded Cruiser is not here to join in the Pop music of today, but to exist on their own terms. Taking a little taste of punk and rock ‘n’ roll, the band has been refining garage music since 2011. Most notably, Stranded Cruiser’s performances release aggression and rage in an unapologetic manner. Not everything can be blissful and there needs to be people yelling about it. Stranded Cruiser has remained a band in the independent music scene for almost 5 years due to the support of an audience sharing similar DIY ideals. This relationship with independent artists grew when the band signed with label, Get Bent Records, in 2014. The band has continued to captivate audiences throughout Toronto and the GTA with its raw power.  
‘Pretty, Fantastic’ is an album capturing several years of blood, sweat and tears for the band. The energy evident throughout the album reinforces the band’s crazy and wild attitude that is displayed on stage. Opening the album is the catchy, guitar-riff based song, ‘Shark Tank’. This song criticizes the state of modern music with pained melodies over a sporadic rhythm section. ‘Fuck’n Real’ seizes the youth of its audience and swings them through soft verses and waves of noise in the chorus. Songs like ‘Another Misery’ and ‘Mother Abbey’ are classic punk rock songs that will give you a familiar feeling of teenage angst. Listening to the album, one can identify the influences of Pixies, Fugazi, Cage the Elephant, with a splash of Iggy Pop. Stranded Cruiser has tweaked the garage rock formula just enough to sound new again.
