The Strumbellas

The Strumbellas have returned with their newest single called “Salvation.” It is out now via Glassnote Records. This track marks a stylistic turn from their melancholy, introspective releases. The Canadian band is currently working to complete their fourth studio album coming in 2019.

“Our whole dream has been to make cool, small-town music with just a fun, poppy feeling,” says The Strumbellas lead singer & guitarist, Simon Ward.  “Every record we do, we get closer to that.  ‘Salvation’ is exactly what we wanted to do, what we were hoping to get out of this song and record:  fun, poppy songs that are sad and weird.”

The Strumbellas is made up of David Ritter (keys), Jeremy Drury (percussion), Isabel Ritchie (strings), Jon Hembrey (guitar) and Darryl James (bass). Their last album “Hope” came out in 2016 and their first single, “Spirits” was a #1 on the Mediabase Alternative chart.  The band performanced their hit track on both ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. In 2017, they won the iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Alternative Rock of the Year, and collected the JUNO Award for Single of the Year.
