Strangers were a 5-piece group from Wellington, featuring current and ex members of ‘The Deadline’, ‘Damaged’, ‘Scab’, ‘Dial’, ‘Neon Bastard’ & ‘GSH’. In late 2007 they released their debut album ‘Weight’, which gathered much critical praise, and was voted “Best NZ
release of 2007” by the readers of NZ website punkas.com”. A relentless schedule of
touring, saw them appearing at numerous festivals around the country including Punkfest and Hamtown Smackdown. They have opened for internationals such as ‘The Dillinger Escape Plan’, ‘Blacklisted’, ‘Ampere’ and ‘Born/Dead’ as well as completing a full Australian tour in April 2008. Their track Overborn (from ‘Weight’) was featured on the cover disc for US Magazine Terrorizer, which is circulated in large quantities throughout the world.
