Strung Out Bring Punk Rock To US & Canada This Fall

Legendary punk rock pioneers Strung Out is gearing up for their national US and Canadian Fall headlining tour in support of their most recent release "Agents of the Underground," which was released last September on Fat Wreck Chords. It was produced by long-time fan Cameron Webb (Social Distortion, Motorhead, IGNITE). Supporting Strung Out on this trek will be Rufio, We Are The Union, Mute, and Larry and His Flask.

Recently named the Fifth Best Punk Drummer in DRUM! Magazine's 2010 Drummies, Jordan Burns rounded out the list right behind Travis Barker (Blink-182), Tre Cool (Green Day), Josh Freese (Weezer, Devo), and Brooks Wackerman (Bad Religion). His fourth trip to the podium, Jordan had previously placed in the Top Five for three years in a row. As a testament to his impressive talent, he's been fully endorsed by Mapex, Paiste, DW, Remo, Danmar Percussion, Protechtor Cases, Cadence Academy, and even has his own signature stick with Pro-Mark.

The 10th anniversary of their critically-hailed seminal EP "The Element of Sonic Defiance" is coming up in November and a historic anniversary show is being planned. Strung Out's signature blend of punk, metal, and hardcore has influenced numerous bands including: Rise Against, Thrice, and Avenged Sevenfold:

"Some of our very first tours were opening for Strung Out, so I had the opportunity to see them live over and over. Growing up in the punk scene, but always having one foot in the metal scene, I appreciated the metal they blended together with pop and punk. Their complex riffs and harmonies challenged and inspired the scores of bands that would walk in their footsteps..." -Tim McIlrath, vocals, guitars/Rise Against

"They were a huge influence on Thrice in our early stages, and I don't think I'd be in a band today if they didn't pique my interest in music back then..." - Riley Breckenridge, drums/Thrice

"Strung Out was a major contributor to my musical influences growing up. I still love throwing on Strung Out to hear the soundtrack to some of my greatest summers..." - M. Shadows, vocals/Avenged Sevenfold

Strung Out is Jordan Burns (drums), Jason Cruz (vocals), Jake Kiley (guitar), Rob Ramos (guitar), Chris Aiken (bass).
