Tom Allan & The Strangest

Music is not about analyzing it. It’s about feeling it, way down in your guts. The guts, that’s what the music of Tom Allan and The Strangest was meant for. A raw, bristling, uncompromising Incarnation of timeless guitar music, haunted by echoes of heroes long gone. No apologies, simply two men against the world, friends more than colleagues, clad in leather, armed with guitars, great songs and something that is severely lacking in modern day rock music: honesty. Tom Allan and The Strangest have it. They are the authentic and most welcome antithesis to generic singer/songwriter kitsch and fake stadium rock. “Little Did They Know”, their second album, is living proof that the glory days of guitar music are far from over. In fact, they could begin anew. It’s loud, it’s wild, it’s out of control, slightly chaotic and seemingly happening right next to you in your living room – full-on, full-blown rock with edge, heartfelt depth, attitude and this eternal moment of surprise that once was a regular on rock records.
