The band was formed in Guyana (a country known mostly for the Jim Jones tragedy and located north of Brazil) March 2004 by Andre Rahaman. The original members consisted of Andre, Ricardo, drummer Jude Mendonca and bassist Romeo Yong.

Following the success of numerous live shows performing cover songs and developing a strong fan base within the local rock scene, StruckRoot began working on original material to help promote the band locally and record their first demo. The demo was recorded in June 2007 and includes the songs: Twisted World, The Passing and Purify (Now available through Amazon.com, iTunes or IndieStore)

After the departure of Jude and Romeo, the band went through several lineup changes before finally relocating to Sao Paulo, Brazil in January 2008. Through this period the band performed several festivals/gigs and also adding two other fulltime members to its fold; Rawle Staunton and Samuel Constantine .

StruckRoot sounds like a mixture of grunge, punk, hardcore and classic rock. Influences of the band include Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, Faith No More, Neil Zaza, Alter Bridge and Metallica. The primary songwriters of the band are Andre Rahaman: music and arrangements and Ricardo Dupret: lyrics.

The band presently has 12 original songs and plan to record their first album in 2009.
