STRANGERS YOU KNOW, today (3/11), have released their six-track EP LOOSEN UP THE LEASH, which premiered yesterday with FUSE who said, “the L.A.-based indie-pop/folk outfit should solidify its staying power with a new EP, Loosen Up the Leash…centered around lead single ‘Used’ that amplifies a bluesy, folk sound catered for a live arena.” The band will celebrate the EP’s release with a performance at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood tonight. More details for the show can be found here.
Earlier this week, TEEN VOGUE (who partnered with STRANGERS YOU KNOW to premiere the official video for their single “Used”) raved that the song, “…features a stealthy beat and a rhythm that will transport you to the fields of Coachella.” The single charted in the Top 10 (#8) on Spotify‘s U.S. and Global Viral charts with over 600,000 plays and SiriusXM’s AltNation has also been an early supporter of the track, featuring it on their Advanced Placement show for several weeks. Watch the new video for “Used”here.
The band recently announced their official SXSW showcase performance for “The GRAMMY Museum Presents Homegrown Los Angeles,” set for Friday, March 18 at Tap Room at The Market in Austin, TX (319 Colorado St.). The Los Angeles-based duo will perform at 8pm and other artists on the bill include The New Regime, SWIMM, Kitten, Grizfolk, and Phases; more details here.
STRANGERS YOU KNOW is no stranger to the festival scene. In fact, the pair–Grady Lee (vocals, guitar) and Adam Haagen (piano, guitar, vocals, banjo, mandolin)–met three years ago by happenstance in the heart of the desert as attendees of the iconic Coachella Music and Arts Festival. Bonding over synths, beats, guitars, lyrics and melody,the foundation of STRANGERS YOU KNOW was born.
