The Striders - Between Scylla and Charybdis EP [2007]

The Striders are a 4 piece Psychedelic Dream Pop band from Danbury,

CT. 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 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. The group, fresh off their 2006 hiatus, return to the

stage with a brand new EP titled "Between Scylla and Charybdis". The

bloated seven song EP show the dream pop quartet reaching in new

directions. Extending to the margins the simple clean-toned guitar

pop, The Striders move towards a more sonically open sound, with

experimentation and lavishly adorned textures, oozing energy from the

edges, the group take each song to the next level; continuing their

journey towards psychedelic dream pop ecstasy.



In short, if you like fun, well written power pop songs then this

album is for you. Get the album, be happy!
