When we submitted it to everyone on our team and they really loved it, it became the template of our sound. It was a combination of loud chanty vocals mixed with these layered keyboards and guitars and a message that pretty much says ‘I’m an idiot but I mean well.’ It was perfectly imperfect and over the years we’ve really learned to love it.” **Listen/share “BAD START”_:_** **DSP**: [https://presave.umusic.com/stratejacket-badstart-pre-save](https://presave.umusic.com/stratejacket-badstart-pre-save) StrateJacket have had to learn the hard way that good things come to those who wait. Formed in 2019, they quickly found themselves stuck in the middle of a pandemic, stunting the band’s career before it even started. Roemers, Angel, and Mangold were not ones to give up easily. This youthful band of early twenty-somethings used the isolation to hone their craft and found their catchy, fast, and energetic sound in merging their individual influences. Acts ranging from Arctic Monkeys and Blink- 182 were among their favorites.  The band eventually played some of their first shows with a guerilla approach to gigging, driving all over San Francisco to play under bridges, on beaches, and in warehouses. This earned a devoted fanbase in the process and caught the attention of EDGEOUT Records, who signed them in 2021. StrateJacket recorded their debut album at Vancouver’s Armoury Studios in November of 2022 with the Juno/BMI-winning Canadian producer/songwriter **Brian Howes** (_Hinder, Skillet, Boys Like Girls_). They also secured the Grammy Award-winning **Chris Lord-Alge** (_Green Day, Muse, Prince_) to mix the album.  [⌊StrateJacket⌉⌊StrateJacket⌉[ **StrateJacket** _L-R: _Nate Mangold, Jackson Roemers, and Fabian Angel **StrateJacket**’s new single “[**BAD START**](https://presave.umusic.com/stratejacket-badstart-pre-save)” is available on all streaming platforms today — **September 22, 2023** _via _**EDGEOUT**/** UMG**/**UMe**. **About EDGEOUT Records**: **EDGEOUT Records** focuses on the development and curation of young mainstream rock bands and artists that will be the future rock movement in the music industry through their program – **THE STUDIO.** The label also signs established artists who have specialized musical projects.
