Strait A Students is a four-piece, Aggressive-alt-rock band from Bellingham, WA. Jared D. “What’s Up Magazine” Feb 2006 wrote, “The Strait A Students aren’t going to change Rock-n-Roll, but they’re sure as hell having fun with it!”Strait A Students has played more than (50) live shows regionally and sold hundreds of their debut release "The Oryentation EP" on the internet and at live performances. The Strait A's have had (4) tracks named “Track of the Day” at Garageband.com and have been included on two music compilations distributed at Warped Tour 2006 and 2007. In March 2007, they were named “Band of the Month” at Bandfocus.com and they took home 2nd place in the KISM/Harley Davidson’s “Last Band Standing” competition last October. Recently, they were interviewed on Kate Delany's "America Tonight" Online Radio Show with close to a half million listeners and their music will be featured in the mountain bike and motocross DVD: “N.W.

This [their 3rd official release in as many years] can only be described as a Pop-Punk meets Alternative Rock masterpiece...Matt G. Aug 2006, in “Hussieskunk”, “Strait A Students is often times hilarious with their lyrics, especially sharp with their instruments and sound, but most importantly, the music is fun and entertaining without losing integrity of becoming too poppy and not enough punky!”Strait A Students upcoming release will embody a force so strong, head banging, with devil hand raised to the heavens will not be a rare side-effect!“The Pursuit of Hopelessness” … The future of this band is anything but!
