Strata is the debut album by the Californian music group Strata. The album was released on July 27, 2004 via Wind-Up Records. The songs "Never There (She Stabs)" and "The Panic" were released as singles, both having music videos. The song "Piece by Piece" was featured on the soundtrack to the 2004 movie The Punisher and the video game Madden NFL 2005. The album is largely a re-recorded version of their second independent album, When It's All Burning.
Strata is an American rock band from Campbell, California, formed in 2000, when guitarist Ryan Hernandez and singer Eric Victorino met and left their previous bands. Bassist Hrag Chanchanian and drummer Patrick Spain completed the lineup under the band's original name, Downside. The band released an EP entitled "For Testing Purposes" and an album called Sleep in 2001. Garnering major label attention early on, Downside signed a development deal with Capitol Records, during which time they replaced drummer Patrick Spain with Adrian Robison and recorded a collection of songs called, The Industry Is Outnumbered... Their Factories Are Burning Down, much of which would become their major label debut, under the name Strata, on Wind-Up Records in 2003.
In 2004, they released their first full-length album on Wind-up Records. The album was featured on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart, where it peaked at number forty-one.[6] The album contained a lot of revised material from their previous Internet-only release When It's All Burning, and EP Now the Industry is Outnumbered. Their Factories are Burning Down.[5] The album spawned two singles: "The Panic" and "Never There (She Stabs)," which were accompanied by music videos. Another song, "Piece By Piece", was featured on the soundtrack for the movie The Punisher, and the video game Madden NFL 2005.[7] "Never There (She Stabs)" was featured on the soundtrack of the movie Elektra.[8] During 2004, the band toured with Alien Ant Farm, dredg, Smile Empty Soul, Finger Eleven, Nonpoint, and Skindred.[5]
Strata filmed a music video for the single "The Panic" in Romania, with the film crew who had recently filmed the movie Cold Mountain. In 2005, the band was set to begin a tour with Nonpoint when singer Eric Victorino developed polyps and nodes on his vocal cords, rendering him virtually mute and forcing Strata to drop off the tour. Victorino stayed in New York City for two weeks to undergo treatment, at which time he wrote most of the lyrics to songs that would become the band's next release. The remaining band and crew drove home to California, stopping in numerous cities to go bowling with fans who had tickets to see the canceled tour dates.
On January 19, 2008, vocalist Eric Victorino announced that he was leaving the band, stating that he wanted to explore his creativity,[1] and encouraging fans to "let this be a time of growth and evolution, a celebration of the past eight years and anticipation of what's to come." The band was subsequently disbanded, with Hernandez and Robison forming a new project titled Beta State.[1] Victorino later started a new band named The Limousines, and also published two books; a short story and poetry compilation titled Coma Therapy, and Trading Shadows for Sunshine: A Loosely Chronicled Descent into the World of Exercise Bikes and Antidepressants.[12] On September 17, 2010, Beta State released their full-length album entitled Stars. On August 30, 2011, a reissue of Sleep was released to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the release of the EP, which includes previously unreleased songs, demos, and acoustic songs.
In early 2014, Victorino and Hernandez began posting pictures and videos of the members practicing songs from both of their studio albums as well as setlists, causing rumor of a reunion. Strata has begun playing shows again, and officially announced their reunion in June 2014. Drummer Adrian Robison was invited to join, but declined. Longtime friend of the band Andy Bailey has joined on drums.[4]
Without announcement on the band's official social media page, Strata released a six-song EP called The Sawmill Sessions on March 8, 2016, to iTunes,[13] among other digital retailers. Many of the EP's tracks were reworked versions of songs previously released as demos on the 10-year anniversary edition of Sleep, as well as an alternate version of "Coma Therapy."
On July 28, 2020, the band confirmed their return with a new single titled "Around the Bend." The band confirmed that this would be their first track of 2020, which was self-recorded, self-produced, and self-released. "Around the Bend" was released via Bandcamp,[14] which included a podcast-style breakdown of the making of "Around the Bend," featuring Eric Victorino and Ryan Hernandez, as well as an alternate acoustic version of the song.[15]
Given that evolutionary divergence in mating signals leads to reproductive isolation in numerous animal taxa, understanding what drives signal divergence is fundamental to our understanding of speciation. Mating signals are thought to diverge via several processes, including (1) as a by-product of morphological adaptation, (2) through direct adaptation to the signaling environment, or (3) to facilitate species recognition. According to the first two hypotheses, birdsongs diversify in different foraging niches and habitats as a product of selection for optimal morphology and efficient sound transmission, respectively. According to the third hypothesis, they diversify as a result of selection against maladaptive hybridization. In this study I test all three hypotheses by examining the influence of morphology, acoustic environment, and the presence of closely related congeners on song structure in 163 species of antbird (Thamnophilidae). Unlike oscine passerines, these Neotropical suboscines make ideal subjects because they develop their songs without learning. In other words, patterns of vocal divergence are not complicated by cultural evolution. In support of the morphological adaptation hypothesis, body mass correlates with the acoustic frequency of songs, and bill size with temporal patterning. These relationships were robust, even when controlling for phylogenetic inertia using independent contrasts, suggesting that there has been correlated evolution between morphological and acoustic traits. The results also support the acoustic adaptation hypothesis: birds which habitually sing in the understory and canopy produce higher-pitched songs than those that sing in the midstory, suggesting that song structure is related to the sound transmission properties of different habitat strata. Finally, the songs of sympatric pairs of closely related species are more divergent than those of allopatric pairs, as predicted by the species recognition hypothesis. To my knowledge, these data provide the first direct evidence that species recognition and ecological adaptation operate in tandem, and that the interplay between these factors drives the evolution of mating signals in suboscine birds.
The NASA rover Curiosity beamed to Earth his new song "Reach for the Stars" on Tuesday in the first music broadcast from another planet, to the delight of students who gathered at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to listen.
In his prison writings Bonhoeffer touched a rich, deep vein of theology, grace, power, and experience of God, the first strata of which was laid down by the Lord Jesus himself. Suffering and persecution are not new occurrences. From the start of the church this vein has been growing with new strata cemented together sometimes with tears, sometimes with blood. In our day this is a thick vein of precious truth that we may be rediscovering with brothers and sisters in China.
In September 2018 one of the large house churches in China was closed down after months of increasing tension with the local government. In early 2019 the senior pastor was given a copy of this song by a friend and was greatly moved by its message. Here is how they describe what happened.
This poem is the voice and prayer of many brothers and sisters in our church. Therefore, we are going to use this song as our song to start the year 2019. This is our song. This is our prayer for the year.[5]
When you are moved to tears at seeing the words and hearing the music, you know a song has found you. As we get ready to start a new year, listen to this song in German or English so you can understand its message. Then, even if you do not understand Chinese, listen to the Chinese version. Listen as Chinese Christians sing about their faith and trust in God who will be with them at night, in the morning and on every future day.
Jazz poet and social activist Langston Hughes utilized the American language, music, slang, and religious views to educate the world about African American lifestyles during the Harlem Renaissance. His jazz poetry depicted the "low-life," or the real life experiences of blacks, in the lower social-economic strata. His criticisms focused on the divisions, and prejudices, based on skin color within the black community. In this program, participants will explore one it means to be oneself and how Hughes used his poetry to share messages of experiences.
oh god i love this song!The meaning of this is song is pretty simple.A couple that is about to break up. The one is giving up the other one asks to please not.Even though the meaning is simple, this song says so much! I'm in love over how they have used the words.. and i love the line 'no matter where you go, we're just an inch apart'Strata deserves more attention than their getting..
This song is freakin awesome!!! can't wait for the new album, i still love listening to the old one. Strata have come so far, they are sounding incredible.Yeah this song is such a compeling story. Totally agree strata deserves much more attention
I've actually grown to like this song more than Cocaine, one of their other songs. Strata did a great job on this song. The meaning isn't too hard to understand. To me, it seems that a couple is breaking up or in a rocky area in the relationship. The boyfriend is trying to make the long distance relationship work, but the girlfriend just wants to break up or for him to come home. That part wasn't quite as clear. Anyways, I can't wait for their new CD to come out.
