We are a ragtag bunch of bandidos. The Strangeness are here to save rock and roll. The Strangeness will have a lot of fun along the way whether they succeed or not.

The Strangeness is a lo-fi, lo-budge garage punk outfit from Manila. Collectively, they also have better music taste than you.

The Strangeness is also the name of a low-budget horror film that none of the members have seen as of yet. Fuck you, the name’s rad as fuck.

The Strangeness - Naglalakbay (Juan De La Cruz Band)

The Strangeness - Naglalakbay
(Juan de la Cruz Band cover)

Another experiment in home recording. Also, it’s something a little bit different than what we’re used to, but it’s all good. Harmonicas, acoustic guitars, twang. A psychedelic alt-country arrangement of arguably one of the best Filipino rock songs of all time. 

Respect.

This is the cherry on top of an awesome year.

Thanks to QLE Awards for naming “Jesus Camp” as the Best EP of 2011! Holy shit, man. This feels great! A million thanks to our friends who supported us! To Kathy and Joey of Wide Eyed Records for producing the EP! The engineers of Love One Another Studios for making us sound so cool!

There’s loads of people to thank from the lovely Mei Bastes to the Benedicto siblings for putting up great shows this year (which lead to you guys probably knowing who we are). The great bands and people we’ve met with ever show! But seriously, everyone, great job.

WE <3 YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

(Read the entire QLE Awards 2011 on YoungStar)

[Jesus Camp EP is still available from us! If you want a copy, we’ll be selling some at the first Attraction! Reaction! for 2k12 on January 7 at Route 196! We’re playing with an awesome line-up: Outerhope, Ang Bandang Shirley, Halik Ni Gringo, The Purplechickens, Musical O, and Ciudad!]
