The Stratford 4
Keep Your Crazy Head On Straight
Magnetic Stare Records [2015]
Fire Drill Album Review: Do you remember The Stratford 4? The band released two solid albums on Jetset Records back in the early 2000’s. The group then was caught up in major label red tape and the Ric Ocasek produced Keep Your Crazy Head On Straight never saw the light of day and the band broke up. Now is your chance to hear the album as The Stratford 4 are back. KYCHOS is a great sounding record that has a bit of indie jangle with some shoegaze undertones. The group hails from San Francisco but they always had a very UK vibe – Keep Your Crazy Head On Straight is no different and might just be the best record the band never released!
