“With the release of its self-titled EP earlier this year, StrateJacket makes a 
bold entrance into the Bay Area punk scene. Through their music, the three hope 
to create a raw, electric sound that calls back to some of the Bay Area greats, 
notably Green Day_.” – _**SF Chronicle (Datebook Pick)**
“The short, concise tunes
deliver a perfect combination of post-punk energy and pop songwriting.” – **Metro
Silicon Valley**“..an explosive barrage of super infectious songs that absolutely
soared into the stratosphere.” – **Highwire Daze** “…A sound that’s as punchy as
it is poignant, a mélange of energetic rhythms and memorable melodies.” – **Blurred
Culture**

Having been inspired by The Wombats song “Moving To New York,” **Jackson Roemers**(
_lead vocals/guitar_) says he wanted to get “more interesting” with the chords they
were using and he ended up with this progression. 

“I really liked the jangle pop vibe of the riff and wanted to do something a little
different than the stuff we did on the rest of the album,” he says. “There’s more
of a groove in this song and it doesn’t come off as angry as some of our other ones
tend to. Add in **Fabian**’s** [Angel**, _vocals/bass_] killer bass line and you
get this little ditty.” The band – comprised of Roemers, Angel and **Nate Mangold**(
_drums_) – is still in their early twenties and embraces this youthful energy for
the hopelessly romantic song.

and features singles like the shout-at-the-heavens title track “**Bad Start**” (
originally featured on [**EA Sports’ NHL24 Soundtrack**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=f172fa8848&e=615f2b8493)
in tandem with [**NHL24’s Playlist**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=8e927ded5a&e=615f2b8493)
last year), the ultra-melodic “[**Be My Drug**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=156d9e0cb7&e=615f2b8493),”
and the previous single “**End of Time**,” all of which overflow with dark humor
and contain the sort of electric energy that has hyper-charged the Bay Area’s punk
and alternative scenes for decades.

StrateJacket’s journey to **_Bad Start_** has been marked by unwavering determination,
even during the darkest days of the pandemic lockdown. Unsure when they’d play another
gig or if they would secure a record deal or make an album, they persevered. Yet,
they maintained optimism and hope, overcoming every obstacle. Their resilience has
seen them grow from humble Bay Area venues to playing at prestigious festivals like
_SXSW_, _Welcome to Rockville_, and Omaha’s _KIWR’s Summer Bash_ in 2024.

The band is slated to do a round of headline shows in September before their performance
at _**Aftershock Festival**_ in **Sacramento** on **October 10 **and following the
festival they’ll be joining up with **Ten Years** for a handful of supporting dates
along the west coast portion of their tour. Looking back at StrateJacket’s origins,
it’s clear they didn’t get such a bad start after all.

StrateJacket recorded the album at Vancouver’s **Armoury Studios** in November of
2022. They worked with the Juno/BMI-winning Canadian producer/songwriter **Brian
Howes** (_Hinder, Skillet, Boys Like Girls_) to bring their vision to life. The 
band also secured Grammy® winning **Chris Lord-Alge** (_Green Day, Muse, Prince_)
to mix the tunes, ensuring a high-quality sound that matches their musical ambitions.
