Strata - The Panic

Review by Ronald Ancajima Ojeda

The Panic by Strata is an album that showcases the band's ability to create dynamic and emotionally charged music. The album is a fusion of alternative rock, post-hardcore, and progressive metal, which results in a unique and captivating sound.

The album opens with the track "The New National Anthem," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is an energetic and aggressive track that features heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals. The next track, "Hot/Cold (Darling, Don't), " slows the pace down a bit with a more melodic sound and introspective lyrics.

Throughout the album, Strata demonstrates their talent for creating intricate and complex arrangements. The song "Stay Young" is a prime example of this, with its shifting time signatures and intricate guitar work. The track "The Brothers" is another highlight, featuring a haunting melody that builds to a powerful and emotional climax.

About Strata

Strata got their start in suburban San Jose around 2000. Then called Downside, the quartet -- vocalist Eric Victorino, guitarist Ryan Hernandez, bassist Hrag Chanchanian, and drummer Adrian Robison -- started playing out frequently, and by 2001 had self-released an LP. An Internet release followed. Tours with homeboys like Alien Ant Farm and Dredg raised Strata's stock, and though numerous labels showed interest in their post-grunge grooves (similar to types like Trapt or even Hoobastank), the band eventually signed with mondo-successful startup Wind-Up. Their largely self-produced, eponymously titled debut appeared in July 2004. Presents the End of the World followed three years later. The trio spent the next two years writing songs while touring the U.S. and U.K., then returned to hit the studio and record Strata Presents the End of the World, released in July 2007. In 2008, after Victorino announced he had left the band, Strata called it a day. Victorino went on to form the electronic-pop duo the Limousines while Hernandez and Robison formed the group Beta State. In 2014, the band reunited, minus Adrian Robison on drums, replaced by long time friend of the band Andy Bailey who played with the band until 2019 after which the drums were played by Jim Leadbetter. In 2017 Jonathan Poso joined the band on piano and synthesizer. Since reuniting, the band released a new six-song EP called 'The Sawmill Sessions' on March 8, 2016, a 10 year anniversary edition of 'Strata Presents The End Of The World' in 2017, and have started releasing new music through bandcamp as of 2020. Current line up: " Ryan Hernandez  guitar, vocals, synthesizer, piano (2000-2008, 2014-) " Hrag Chanchanian  bass, piano (2000-2008, 2014-) " Eric Victorino  vocals, guitar (2000-2008, 2014-) " Jonathan Poso  piano, synthesizer (2017-) " Jim Leadbetter - drums (2019-)
