Vancouver indie/alternative band Uncle Strut is playing The Wise here in Vancouver on November 26th! If you’re looking for a night to groove and dance your socks off then dedicate this evening to watch Uncle Strut live!
The band is really just getting going as its only been about a year since group was formed. The band was created when lead singer Tyson McNamara, bassist Brendan Reid, and drummer Quincy Flowers got together to jam and rock out. Later on they looked to expand their group so they did that by recruiting guitarist and producer Will Horning. It was then that the chemistry was enhanced and it was easy money from there on out. With common comparisons of music style to Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kings of Leon, and Morning Jackets, Uncle Strut strives to reinvigorate rock n’ roll with new and exciting sounds by combining the styles of classic rock, grooving indie music, and psychedelia.
2 single group release Criminal/33 is a couple songs that explore the sounds and feelings of someone getting their feelings off their chest. Preaching that despite the common occurrence in a relationship it was the other that was at fault. “Criminal” brings the listener through the story of how the significant other really screwed up and ruined what once was a great thing. Lots of emotion from the singer and feels like he’s relieving some stress he went through. “33” is the second song where it goes through the emotions and stages of going from strangers to partners. The anxiety of the approach and then the mental hurdles of being in the relationship driving each other crazy. Interesting story and lyrics but a really catchy line of instruments playing with strong vocalism showing different ranges.
This is just the tip of the iceberg from this group having already released 9 singles full of different sounds that put a smile on your face. If you are a fan of music and listen to a variety of genres then this is a group that you are going to enjoy.
Book the evening off so that nothing prevents you from catching this group LIVE at The Wise on November 26th @ 8 pm! Doors open @ 7 pm.
