HiddenTrack #227 THE STRIKE (Chris Crabb, David Maemone, & Jay Tibbitts)

HiddenTracks

For more than a decade, a life-affirming spell seems to enchant every audience the band plays to. It’s why THE STRIKE have been booked for weeks-long residencies from Dubai (at the behest of music legend Quincy Jones) to China (at the massive Qingdao Beer Festival). Back home, they have an appeal that’s lured some fans to travel across continents to see them, and others to get Strike-themed tattoos. Music supervisors have followed in kind, using their songs on Dancing With the Stars, America’s Got Talent, and Netflix’s To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Which is to say: If the name The Strike doesn’t ring a bell, there’s a good chance you’ve actually heard their music.
None of this good fortune is lost on the L.A.-based group, which also includes drummer Jay Tibbitts and singer Chris Crabb. And this is why their third album, A Dream Through Open Eyes (out October 4th, Nettwerk), was created with the goal of capturing this phenomenon of intoxicating folks wherever they go.
