Every so often, musicians arrive on the scene with an undeniably fresh approach to a tried-and-true genre. Acclaimed Los Angeles roots rock band The Americans have again shown their ability to reinvent rock & roll through the prism of early folk and blues. Their upcoming EP, Strays, out 7/21, presents a poignant and original body of work.
The Americans' last two releases, Stand True (2022) and I’ll Be Yours (2017), helped catapult the band into the spotlight. Revered producer T Bone Burnett called them "genius twenty-first century musicians that are reinventing American heritage music for this century. And it sounds even better this century."
Acclaimed music journalist Greil Marcus (Pitchfork) writes, "From the first rolling guitar notes, carrying sadness and defiance like dust, this sweeps me up: I want to know everything about where that feeling came from, and where it's going."
Strays is brimming with innovative arrangements, catchy hooks, and soulful vocals. The Americans have once again proved themselves to be one of the most exciting and talented bands in the roots music scene. The EP lands somewhere between Bruce Springsteen and Nathaniel Rateliff.
