   About talldark stranger
talldarkstranger, coming to you from the rural edges of Chicagoland, aims to convey the experiences of its working-class background through an independent form of truly American music. Drawing on influences from classic groups like The Byrds and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, tds infuses a modern, contemporary sensibility to the familiar Americana sound, creating an at once familiar and unique catalog of unforgettable songs that always leave the listener wanting an encore. Catchy, heartfelt, and straightforward, the music created by them is real, almost palpable, in its feeling. There is no packaging, no image, no gimmick.

talldarkstranger has shared the stage with such bands as Lucero, Catfish Haven, The Dundrearies, Blueblood, Midwestern Death, ChinUpChinUp, Port O’Brien, Colossal, The Horns of Happiness, and many more. They are currently supporting their self-titled EP, recorded at Chicago’s Transient Sound with engineer Steven Gillis.

Hi Josh et al. I finally had enough time between shows to crank out this gem: DETERRENT COMICS featuring Mr. MX, first glorious episode on YouTube! If you remember the old comic-book-and-record sets of our youth you will enjoy... Includes good original music, no extra charge.
