Reality Stricken

Forged in the fires of skinned knees and the street hockey games of childhood friendships, Reality Stricken is a four-piece rock band that hails from Norristown, Pennsylvania. Absolutepunk describes their sound as having “a dark catchiness with obvious Jimmy Eat World references, with the heaviness and intensity of Bayside” The band has cut it’s teeth on stages supporting Blindside, A Skylit Drive, Bedlight for Blue Eyes, performed live for millions on Clear Channel’s Radio 104.5 and logged over 250 shows up and down the east coast. Upon returning from their second successful tour behind their 2008 self recorded EP “This is All We Could Remember”, marveling at the six hundred thousand times their fans had listened to their songs online and finally getting to enjoy the fluffiness of their own beds again, the band sought out producer Chris Badami (The Starting Line, Early November) to record their new EP “Signal Fire”. “We wanted to capture a bright feel in all of these songs, something you’d wanna rock in your car with all the windows down on a summer day” said vocalist Stephen Angello, “and I think we did that.” Released in August of 2009 the EP is available at shows, on Itunes, and wherever face melting is not prohibited by law!
