STRATOCRUISER: egg shells

10 new tracks from stratocruiser that are "full of crunchy rock riffs and sweet pop melody following in the heavy power pop footsteps of Aerosmith, Badfinger and especially Cheap Trick. A great album, that will sound even better in the car with the windows down, played loud. No duds here and it's on emusic too! So get this now and enjoy!" -- Powerpopaholic

STRATOCRUISER: revolutions

Picking up where the critically acclaimed, "suburban contemporary", left off ..."Revolutions" brings the rock.

All Access Magazine
Gliding through the musical mire like a perfectly designed airliner is "Egg Shells" the latest from East Coast band Stratocruiser. This newest offering may very well prove to be their long range flagship of material as each track is a full on salute to psychedelic , trippy, power pop rock at its finest. Lead singer Clay Howard's vocals have always had a stalwart style that is transfixing, but with even more distinctive and powerful production than prior Stratocruiser releases, his latest delivery is even more provocative than ever.
Long compared to the likes of Cheap Trick and Badfinger, Stratocruiser's sound could very well be the one that other bands get compared to from now on, as the uncompromising and brilliant guitar work of Mike Nicholson coupled with Matt Brown on drums and Jack Getz on bass results in a singular sound that Stratocruiser can call all its own. Moving easily from balled to straight on rocker, "Egg Shells" lands spot on to commanding lyrics, guitar work worthy of any six string legend and pocket perfect bass and drums exemplified in standout tracks like "Egg Shells", "By Design" and "Cherry Flavored".
In short, "Egg Shells" is a smooth landing at what music longs to be.
