- The Strumbellas Biography:
When the crowd is singing along with the last chorus after hearing a song for the first time and twitter lights up with those same lyrics in the days following a performance, you know it's a song that connects. With poignant, yet sing-along-able lyrics and undeniable rock-noir musical undertones, Spirits, the first single from The Strumbellas forth coming album, embodies the essence of what has been attracting fans from North America to this Lindsey, Ontario-bred band.
The journey has been a whirlwind since the release of the band's 2012 debut album "My Father & The Hunter". The Strumbrella's sound - haunting lyrics, fused with infectious, danceable melodies - won them both fans and critical recognition. A year later they followed up with "We Still Move On Dancefloors", which earned the band six awards, including a JUNO award and a Sirius XM indie award, as well as a spot on the Polaris Music Prize Long List. And of course, there's been touring. Lot's of touring.
In early 2015, the Strumbellas, off the road and ready to record again, set up shop at downtown Toronto's Lincoln County Social Club to record the new album with LA Producer/Engineer, Dave Schiffman, (Johnny Cash, Haim, Weezer.)
During three recording sessions during the first half of 2015, Schiffman and the band harnessed a vivid sound that was itchin' to get out of them. Bigger. Bolder. Beckoning.

- About Noah Kahan:
Noah’s currently on tour supporting The Strumbellas and just released a new single, “Hurt Somebody” which was produced by Joel Little (Khalid, Lorde) and got over 590k streams in its first week – pretty impressive numbers considering the first week streams of seasoned artists like Arcade Fire (547k), Vance Joy (669k), The Killers (845k), and Beck (763k). Noah’s story is equally incredible, an American singer-songwriter from Stratford, VT (population 1045) who against the advice of friends and family decided to defer his college acceptance to pursue a career in music. At 20 years old, Noah recently released his debut single, “Young Blood” which exploded in popularity on Spotify, debuting at #5 on the US Viral Chart and surpassing 15 Million streams in less than 5 months. Noah has since performed sold out shows with Ben Folds, Anderson East, and toured the U.S. with Milky Chance.

“[Hurt Somebody] is more scaled back with just a muted guitar melody and stomping rhythm, but it allows the songwriter to showcase his ability to blend mature themes with a folk-pop twist.” – Billboard
“Noah Kahan has one of the voices, like Angel Olsen, in which it sounds like his heart is singing rather than his mouth.” – Audio Fuzz
