ALBUM OF THE DAY
Stemage - Strati, released 2007 (Silent Uproar)
"As shown in its balance between guitar driven hooks and seemingly chaotic rhythmic dissonance, Stemage offers a collection of catchy, high-energy space rock with metal, pop, and prog coatings. Unsatisfied with generic rock predictability, Strati (meaning "layers") thrives on complex backbones, piled on melodies, dodging time changes, cleverly peculiar lyrics, and ensuring that the listener never gets bored. The debut album, Strati, is out now on Silent Uproar Records."
"You’ll swear ‘Library’ involves J. Robbins on guitar, vocals, or twiddling knobs somewhere ... Damn impressive … and a benchmark in any genre." - Illinois Entertainer
"Enigmatic and invigoratingly divergent styles" - Smother
"Grant Henry obviously has a fertile and creative mind for music that few possess ... Each track seems to have its' own personality and complexity, from soft passages to very complex heaviness" - Space City Rock
“Stemage is hard rock mixed with early 90's crunch, math rock, and some prog-rock. The result is original, and Stemage's lyrics are hilarious.” - Pulse Weekly
“I have no idea who this dude is, or why he recorded an album full of crappy nü-metal riffs with his shitty high school talent show vocals on top of wannabe emo verses... Plus, what the f**k's up with the Good Charlotte cover art? - PunkNews.org
