Montana based hard rock quartet Stranded by Choice are back with their third studio album 'Lost By Design' which is set for release August 28th 2020. The band recently released a snippet of the album with their new video 'Ground Hog' which has been well received amongst their fan base.
The album boasts heavy riffs, soaring vocals and crushing grooves. It's a wonderful mix of country-style rock, hard rock and in parts, has a metal infusion.
Stranded By Choice was formed over a decade ago against the rugged backdrop
of central Montana. In an area where the vast plains meet the mountains and the
mountains meet the sky, the veteran rockers have successfully captured the
intensity and magnitude of the landscape from which they were forged.
Throughout the years Stranded By Choice have refined their unique blend of
classic rock, metal and country, both on the road and in the studio. With a thick
dual guitar sound and a simplistic yet powerful approach to their song writing,
SBC creates music that is catchy, listenable, and heavy.
While the influence of classics bands like Black Sabbath, Mountain and Thin
Lizzy is obvious in both their studio albums and live shows, the band also pulls
heavily from bands like Red Fang, Clutch and Mastodon. This diverse approach
allows Stranded By Choice to fit comfortably on a wide range of bills, from punk
to metal and beyond.
2020 marks the release of Stranded By Choice’s third full-length album Lost By
Design. Perhaps their best effort yet, Lost By Design perfectly captures the SBC
sound. The album is accompanied by a music video for the new single
“Groundhog” which like all of their videos was filmed on a working hay farm. This
literal backyard imagery creates stunning visual accompaniment to the band’s
music.
Stranded By Choice has toured the Northwest and Canada extensively and has
shared the stage with Red Fang, Kylesa, Blacktop Mojo, Stabbing Westward,
Black Wizard, Conan, The Kyle Gass Band, D.O.A. and many more great bands.
“We had no sort of time crunch when making this album and that
allowed us to really take a step back and get a clear vision of what we
wanted to achieve. We recorded most of the songs as demos first
then made changes and refined them before the actual tracking. By
doing that we let the song grow and develop naturally instead of just
forcing out ideas. As a result I think we’ve achieved our most
creative and authentic album yet.”
- Rich Feeley, singer/bass player in Stranded By Choice

My thoughts
A really great album, if you love bands like Clutch, Mastodon, then this is going to be right up your street, a great southern rock sounding album, perfect for them sunny days with a cold one, this is a band that if there was ever a classic rock Sunday at a festival like download festival this band would need to be on the bill.
