Strangerland is a melodic rock project created by Alex Patman from Athens, Greece. It all tarted several years ago as a home studio project, ‘stacking’ demo songs with Greek or English lyrics. The original name of the project was Stranger, but after finding that many bands had the same name, ‘land’ was added, inspired from the name of the old Greek band, Wasteland. In any case, names are not important. It is just a label. During the last years, singer David Cagle got on the vehicle, by adding his voice and harmonies to complete the final result and then the idea of an album not to miss was born. Mike Wikman and Chris Zoukas also added their skillful playing on drums and bass respectivly.

The new album is a collection of songs written in the last 3-4 years. It's a little funkier and more of a rock album than the previous album. There's a wide variety of songs featured here and something to suit everyone who is into rock.

DREAMS was founded by keyboarder Todd Loizzo and some of his like-minded high school friend’s hallway the 80s. Having a father who was first lead vocalist of American Breed and then owner of a recording studio, it was written in the stars that Todd would start a band of his own. Within a year, DREAMS not only played in and around Chicago, but at many college-s throughout the state of Illinois. This way they built a sizeable following, which was enough for local label Broker Records to sign them. Strangely enough though, Broker only released the stuff the guys had written/recorded on cassette, at the time a popular format in the States, because a lot of Americans used to listen to music on the road. Several thousand cassette tapes were sold and the band went out to play at some of L.A.’s clubs located in the infamous Sunset Strip. Sadly enough: when they started showcasing for various records labels, Nirvana and the likes began to take over the market and not a single record company was interested in DREAMS anymore. But because they still had that local following, the band went on until halfway the 90s before they really knew that there was no future for them.
