 “Interest has been picking up fast, thanks to the immediacy and addictiveness of their dark pop sound” – CMU Approved

 “They’ve managed yet again, to produce tracks of such quality, that they should just release their full length already” – The 405

Released on 16^th April 2012 ‘Shine On You’ is the latest offering from London dark synth-popsters Strangers. Available as a digital download ‘Shine On You’ will be released as a joint label venture between London’s Killing Moon Limited and new Manchester based label, Beatwolf Records.

Formed in late 2010 Strangers are songwriter David Maddox-Jones, producer Glen Nicholls (The Prodigy, Snow Patrol, Everything Everything) and band mates Raife Hacking and Piers Sherwood-Roberts.

After a year that saw the band release three EPs, earn plaudits across the blogosphere, find fans at Xfm in Eddy Temple-Morris, Mary Ann Hobbs, John Kennedy, and attention from the likes of Mixmag, Music Week and Artrocker, Strangers start 2012 by releasing their new single, ‘Shine On You’.

Harnessing a love of synths and modern beats, Strangers possess the ability to create epic-pop choruses with an underlying sinister gothic feel; something that has been ever-present since their 2010 inception. Whereas previous material has lent towards noir-pop styling’s, new single ‘Shine On You’ sees the group take their love of dark synths and move them into a more euphoric electro pop setting.

‘Shine On You’ will be available for digital download through Killing Moon Limited and Beatwolf Records on 16^th April 2012.
