Dubbed "rock n’ roll classicists" and "an eclectic synthesis of psychedelic grunge and classic rock" by Chicago press Model Stranger’s sound and unique look has pleased rock and roll purists, indie rock fans, and casual listeners all the same. Their variety of sonic influences covers ground of which fans have described as ranging from Tom Petty and David Bowie to Pearl Jam and Muse.

After the band’s debut release “Dreams & Bones” charted on CMJ stations the band hit the road playing over 150 shows in their first 18 months together. While not abandoning the road completely Model Stranger have been in the studio working on songs and additional material for a follow up. This next effort is proving to be a more focused studio project which contrasts to the approach taken on their first record. Priding themselves on their live prowess they recently released “Live at the Double Door” which showcases their strength as a live band. The band will be releasing first listens and sneak peeks of their new material throughout the Winter/Spring of 2012.
