With their sloppy, off-the-cuff roadhouse charm, Austin-based garage-rockers, The Strange Boys stir up a feisty lo-fi brand of rock ‘n roll that pulls from a catalog of sounds. We like to think of it as one part, laidback Stones-y R&B, and another part children of the Nuggets – dig those pesky ankle-biting riffs. If you haven’t heard The Strange Boys yet our rock ‘n roll stethoscopes suggest you check them out.The barbed wire breeze of “Be Brave” storms through on the third track of their In The Red released LP of the same title. This sparkling cut is full of life and highlighted by Ryan Sambol’s heroic, dilapidated drawl, Jenna Thornhill-DeWitt’s bruising sax and
the howling chorus, “You gotta be brave!” Patients, these kids are alright.
Take Up Thy Rock 'N Roll Stethoscope and Walk,
The Strange Boys are:
Ryan Sambol (Guitar, Lead Vocals, Harmonica), Philip Sambol (Bass), Greg Enlow (Guitar), Mikey La Franchi (Drums), Jenna Thornhill-DeWitt (Saxophone, Backing Vocals), and Tim Presley (Backing Vocals)
