Prolific and constantly evolving, Portland, OR’s STRFKR have continued to release music that consistently connects with music lovers all over the globe. On their latest single, "Always / Never",  the band embraces a more pop-forward approach as heard on their last release Running Around (Skeletron Mix), while also hinting at experimentalism and the gentler textures on 2020’s heralded, Future Past Life. 

"“Always / Never” is focused on a feeling that time is slipping away, and the thoughts that can come with that. Like a shocking feeling that maybe you chose the wrong person to spend your life with, which lead to a sort of slow motion shutting down to them and to the rest of life." - Josh Hodges

The band started out in a time when a co-sign from blogs and music outlets of note were all but mandatory for new music to be heard and accepted. STRFKR bypassed the hype machine almost completely, focusing instead on making their shows more exciting and pushing their music to new places. Listen to "Always / Never" below (mixed by Chris Coady) and catch the band on a West Coast headlining tour kicking off Sunday with a SOLD OUT show in Tacoma. All upcoming tour dates, including their long awaited return to EU/UK, are on-sale now.
