The Strike The Strike is a three-member band based in Los Angeles, CA including frontman Chris Crabb, Jay Tibbitts (drums), and David Maemone (keys/guitar). The Strike released their debut album "Faint of Heart" in June of 2017, which was met with great enthusiasm nationally. The success of the record allowed them to expand their presence into Los Angeles from the greater Mountain West region where the band started. In 2022 the band signed with Nettwerk Music Group and released their follow-up album “The Lost Years,” which helped them garner national attention and begin touring. The Strike will be releasing their third studio album in the Fall of 2024. The album was recorded with acclaimed producer John Fields (Switchfoot, Ben Rector, Corey Wong). The Strike is known for their captivating live performances. In an age of musical minimalism, The Strike is reminiscent of rock bands from the 70's and 80's. They feature true showmanship in an age where the art of performance has been forgotten. Chris Crabb's vocal style is akin to rock vocalists such as John Waite, or Steve Perry. The band members are all students at their craft. Those who attend Strike shows become instant fans. Kids That Fly Kids That Fly didn’t come up through industry pipelines—they came up through packed house shows at the University of Connecticut in late 2018, where sweat, persistence, and the hum of amplifiers blurred into something larger than just scrappy guitar rock. What started as a group of friends chasing a rock & roll fantasy quickly turned into a band with real velocity—built on long drives, louder nights, and the quiet certainty that they had something worth chasing. They earned their footing the hard way—grinding through the greater New York circuit while commuting in and out of New York City to record their earliest projects. That DIY momentum has since scaled into a bi-coastal operation following their signing with Giant Music, with recording sessions now spanning NYC, Los Angeles, and their home base in Connecticut. Still, nothing about them feels manufactured—the heartbeat of the band remains raw, urgent, and rooted in the stage. Raised between Connecticut and New York, Kids That Fly pull from a deep well of rock influence—channeling the downtown cool of The Strokes, the melodic sharpness of Weezer, and the emotional charge of UK bands like The 1975 and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Their sound lands in that rare space between nostalgia and now—anthemic, melodic, and built for volume. It’s why they sit naturally alongside bands like The Killers, Young the Giant, and Arctic Monkeys, while still carving out a lane that feels entirely their own. Press has been quick to respond—Atwood Magazine praising their “captivating indie rock anthems,” Music Connection calling out their “polished, powerfully fun pop-rock,” and The Aquarian highlighting their “fervent spirit, rock energy, and romanticism-laced narratives.” But the real story isn’t in the quotes—it’s in the live moment, where the line between band and audience disappears, and the songs hit like something shared. Kids That Fly aren’t just riding a wave—they’re helping build it. And they’re doing it the way great rock bands always have: loud, and without compromise.
