The Striders are a 4 piece Psychedelic Dream Pop band from Southwest Connecticut. Blending abrasive and aggressive rhythms with subtle and beautiful melodies, The Striders are able to create uniquely crisp yet warm, lavishly adorned textures while still keeping their pop sensibility. Formed in 2003 by Jayson Munro with Dave Corsak on drums and Matt Stevens on second guitar, the band’s lineup has evolved in dramatic ways since then. In the fall of
that year(2003) the group lost Matt and gained Travus Palmer. Travus started
off on bass and eventually moved to rhythm guitar and backing vocals.
After this lineup change The Striders have had a great number of
bassists: Chris Cestari, Matt Corsak (Dave’s older brother), Rick
Visser (of tapereelsforeyes.com), Jeremy Lazaro and finally Joe
Andrews. With Joe wielding the bass The Striders have finally found their
perfect lineup.
We are right now, filling our little notebooks full of new songs for new albums. stay tuned.
brain child of Jay, upheld by the best.

Fairfield county weekly says this about it:
"The excellent seven-song EP has the same distortion-surfing guitar riffs and hard-hitting vocals they had back in ’06 but with an extra emotional heaviness that comes from tragedy and contemplation."
Closet Trekkie records say this: "The record contains some massively catchy fuzzy indie-pop songs....The vocals hang in the back, the beat drones on cathartically, and the hooks flow out like butter..." Full Review
