The Strike’s “Soundtrack” Is A Nostalgic 80’s Anthem With A Contemporary Alt-pop Twist
November 17, 2023 BY Emma Orland
Los Angeles alt-pop band The Strike captivate audiences with their unique blend of 80’s rock influences and contemporary, dance floor-ready lyrics with “Soundtrack.” Listen HERE.
“’Soundtrack’ is a song about the person who keeps you grounded. For those who live with their head in the clouds, life can seem like continuous scenes from a movie. This penchant for daydreaming comes with its own unique set of pros and cons. It can lead to creativity, or it can lead to a tendency to constantly replay minor setbacks in your mind. ‘Soundtrack’ is written for the person who shows up consistently, and provides the musical score that plays reliably in the background,” elaborates The Strike.
“Soundtrack” is the first single release since their 2022 album and Nettwerk debut The Lost Years. Stay up to date on upcoming releases in 2024 by following the band on socials.
