Artist description From the pits and the hollows of a dark suburbian basement, a band of psychos broke free from their jackets, and their padded cells. Armed with their tools of destruction, a mix of terroristic vocals and punishing, in your face guitar riffs.

Albums The Padded Cell

Press Reviews Have you seen the public service ad in which Little Johnny cruises around the neighborhood on his skateboard, then hooks up with a buddy and sneaks behind a bush to take a toke? The anti-drug message is meant to drive home the notion that the 'burbs can be just as dangerous for adolescent development as the inner-city 'hoods. Along these lines is Strate Jak It, a band that shows that a bad attitude matched with a seething, muscular attack can be menacing even if you hail from Cottage Grove. The six-piece's EP "The Padded Cell" is a voracious, blood-dripping, lumbering, and angry discourse on what ails them. Thrashing out against politics, deception, crime, poverty, and those folks that generally perturb Strate Jak It, the seven-song disc rolls with an intensity that should find a welcome home with fans of Limp Bizkit, Korn, and the like. -Vicki Casey: Mpls.
