Bio
Modest beginnings often leave way for the biggest successes, and with the way things are going, Portland, Oregon rock band The Strain had better strap themselves in because it looks as though these small city bad boys are in for an explosive ride. Since the release of their debut recording, The Strain has been doing a slow burn across the western United States with the singles “Don’t Know Me” and “Comedy Of Errors”. Since the beginning, there has been a serious buzz building in major pockets like Vancouver B.C.; San Diego, California; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington. The Strain’s debut album, recorded in two parts at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington and produced by John Plum (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains); and at Craig Montoya’s home studio in Portland, Oregon; has become a sleeper success since the west coasts most notable rock station got on The Strain band wagon, spinning the songs several times a day, fervently working the band into the subconscious of rock fans throughout the northwest. Featuring a kaleidoscope of talent: from Jason Demain’s incredibly unique voice, guitar, and songwriting (Camaro Hair/ International Pop Overthrow); Craig Montoya’s driving yet ubiquitous bass playing (Everclear/ Tri-Polar); Kevin Hahn’s guitar ferocity (The Red Sector/ Tri-Polar), and Ryan Moore’s untamed yet sickly “in the pocket” drumming (All The Dead Horses). The phenomenon of The Strain’s quickly rising stature is no doubt due in part to the solid foundation on which his band is built. "We respect one another as musicians, songwriters, but more as brothers…" explains Jason. "We found each other at the bottom of a beer bottle but at the top of our game almost every turn before we came together. We all found the vibe between us was perfect, even though we all come from such different sides of the spectrum." "We think first and foremost our passion is to focus our energy on creating intensely catchy songs that come across live with the same impact as a runaway freight train… we believe that really sets us apart." However, it's not so much the bands’ inclination to work through the creative process as the resulting songs that put them above and beyond the cream of the crop. The driving rhythms and strong melodies mined and exploited by The Strain are not only seductive; they have staying power. The album was recently released with the single "Exposed"… a seductive, compelling, catchy pop rock gem that pulls the listener in. The result is a finely crafted album packed with a carnival of multi-layered tunes, which has been described as "intellectually and emotionally driven aggressive pop with an infectious melody fit for radio." The entire album runs the gamut, exploring themes from swooning songs like “Julie” to the cathartic mix of pop and darkness with "Pretty Things." But in the end, The Strain is just grateful that they are able to share music with others. "We do everything sincerely, " says Jason. "For us it's not about monetary success, it’s about personal accomplishment. We’re just living the dream right now."
