BIO: Emerging from the heart of the Orange County hardcore scene, Strength Behind Tears has been at the cusp of musical progression since their conception. Don't be fooled, Strength Behind Tears is no ordinary "hardcore" band. Each member of the group brings their own unique influences into the mix to ensure a sound unlike that of any other traditional hardcore band. While the notable heavy guitars, thundering bass, blistering drums and angst driven vocals are in place, it's the breakdowns, harmonies, thought provoking lyrics and well thought out instrumental parts that take these songs and this band into a direction that could be crossed over into any number of other genres. If the music doesnt speak for itself then Strength Behind Tears have made sure to always place themselves a cut above the rest when it comes to their stage presence and high energy performance every time they play. They have shared the stage with such national acts as: Scars Of Tomorrow, Death Star, Undying, If Hope Dies, Animosity, The Hoods, The Program, As Hope Dies and many more. Willing and able to play at any and all costs they have spent the last couple of years filling gigs and tours with all genres of bands and building a fan base that most bands would take a lifetime to acheive. Having done a national tour in the Summer of 2006 as well as venturing into Mexico to an overwhelming respose. Strength Behind Tears signed with Basement Records in December 2006 and have embarked on a spring tour to wet the appetite of their growing fanbase in anticipation of their debut full length "Bridges Between Us". Having completed the new 10 track disc, a full summer tour and numerous other activites (recently landing a sponsorship from Nephlam clothing) 2007is sure to be a busy year. The band recently finished shooting their first music video for the song "On Your Back Or On Your Feet" Strength Behind Tears is completely devoted to the music they create and those who take time to listen. You will not find a band as passionate or devoted to what they do as Strength Behind Tears.

For fans of.............The Refused, Glassjaw, & Poison The Well

REVIEWS:

I have no doubt in my mind that listeners will be pleasantly surprised at the talent shown by the band - NEUFUTUR MAGAZINE

Hardcore power. Hardcore energy. Hardcore headbanging. Hardcore f*ck you to all the *ssholes out there. WTF am I yakkin' about? It's another assault of heavy audio blows from Basement Records as Strength Behind Tears lets "Bridges Between Us" out of its cage. Behold as a record with the right fuckin' name comes atcha, a CD that explores with no apology the gaps of misunderstanding and subsequent social violence that exist with human beings. Take heed of this band whose name is utterly appropriate - for here is an artist that delves into the realm of anger and pain and angst with a not-backing-down ethos that puts many to shame. Hop in and get your head bashed with some painful observations on our culture via the pounding brainfuck of hard-as-hell musical exploding. - CORAZINE

Hailing from the Orange County hardcore scene, Strength Behind Tears has landed a spot on the Basement roster. "Bridges Between Us" is the name of their full-length debut and to call the band's music pissed off is like calling Amy Winehouse a slightly less than stable person. With a drummer that keeps pounding away, brutal chugga chugga parts alongside melodic riffs and a vocalist that sounds like he caught some nasty infection on his last trip to Thailand, these guys are ready to get the crowds going. Their brand of screamo with some dissonant parts before diving into yet another breakdown might get a little repetitive after a couple of songs but these dudes bring so much energy to the table that I'll gladly forgive them their lack of originality. Check 'em out on their summer tour if you get the chance, it should be quite the spectacle! - PUNK ROCK THEORY

Bridges Between Us is the the latest effort from Strength Behind Tears. A killer blend of Punk attitude and Metal aggression with low end growls layered with only slightly lighter vox and lyrics that scream with pain desire and the art of self preservation. So if you just need something to work out some aggression to Bridges Between Us should be just the fix you need. - ECTOMAG
