L.A.’s Hello Stranger will hit the road for a string of dates with the Foo Fighters and Against Me! this month. A band constantly pushing their limits, Hello Stranger’s sound combines elements of both rock and glam, mixed with a hefty dose of raw energy.

Loads of relentless touring with the likes of Kings of Leon, Rooney and Eagles of Death Metal has prepared the foursome for these shows where they will be playing tracks from their upcoming release.

The new record will follow the band’s 2006 self-titled debut, a blend of rock, electro-pop and roots revival, co-produced by drummer Joachim’s father, legendary musician Ry Cooder.

Hello Stranger are currently int he studio with producer Mike Elizondo (Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley, Pink) where hte band’s heavier side has started to emerge ont racks like “Big Boots” and “Gimme Back My Wig” — songs with a power made for stadium shows.

Frontwoman Juliette Commagere has added to the band’s ballsier side by starting to play electric guitar, but she still continues to shred on her keytar – an instrument that, along with Juliette’s alluring vocals, is at the heart of Hello Stranger’s sound.
