Canadian metal band Striker added a new string of spring 2022 tour dates and released their new music video for new single "Strange Love" today. The video showcases the addition of Striker's new guitarist John Simon Fallon into the mix. The song itself follows the band's previous 2021 single "Deathwish" and precedes their songwriting venture for their upcoming second record.
"When we wrote 'Strange Love' we were dabbling in the dark arts of funk, and although it really doesn’t sound like it we drew big inspiration from bands like Extreme and Faith No More. It was a bit of a detour on our metal journey, but it was a lot of fun to record," vocalist Dan Cleary commented about writing the new single. "We have one more song to release from that recording session too, which leans even further into that style so keep an eye out for that!"
The new Strike tour dates added extend out prior to the band's already scheduled headlining run in May. The group will hit the road with Beast in Black and Seven Kingdoms throughout most of April and the very beginning of May. Tickets for these shows are available on the band's official website.
