About Me

Strike the Colors entered indefinite hiatus as a trio that attempted to synthesize and cultivate the disparate musical influences of each member into distinct and original compositions. Our most recent recording, "Days Are Numbered", is available for free download by clicking on the blog above. Our final release as a quartet, "Progress Notes," is available for purchase at www.interpunk.com, as is our debut EP, "Vindicate."
