Pre-order announcement: “Buried Alive” the debut EP from Surrounded By Strangers


Surrounded By Strangers Tape

I’m thrilled to announce the tape release of “Buried Alive” the debut EP from Surrounded By Strangers, as our first release of the summer. Featuring 6 tracks spanning over 20 minutes.

Although closely related to post-punk, their actual genre is undetermined blending influences reminiscent of bands like Have A Nice Life, Afterimage, and Altar De Fey.

Hailing from Orange County, this project originated in early 2023 as a power trio, with lead guitarist and singer Jake Merideth almost solely playing and recording the EP. Since then, the band has expanded the lineup with a second guitarist and has played more than a dozen live shows.

The tapes, which include a J-card+2 with the lyrics, will start shipping in mid-August.

Tracklist:

  1. Spare The Rod 04:47
  2. Sudden Death Syndrome 03:10
  3. The Climb To Nine 03:27
  4. Impending Doom 02:27
  5. Humiliation Ritual 03:44
  6. Knife Trick 03:19
