Northern California’s StrateJacket has announced their self-titled debut EP will drop on May 10th via EDGEOUT Records. The EP includes the band’s lead single “Bad Start,” originally featured on EA Sports’ NHL24 Soundtrack. The announcement arrived with a performance video release of another new song “Be My Drug.” Watch the video HERE.

“I hope we’re seen as a response to the overproduced music that’s coming out lately,” said lead singer/guitarist Jackson Roemers. “We want to sound raw and stripped-down.” 

StrateJacket recorded a bulk of new music at Vancouver’s Armoury Studios in November of 2022 with the Juno/BMI-winning Canadian producer/songwriter Brian Howes (Hinder, Skillet, Boys Like Girls). They also secured the Grammy winning Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Muse, Prince) to mix the tunes.
