The Strike
The Strike is a three-member band based in Los Angeles, CA, featuring frontman Chris Crabb, Jay Tibbitts (drums), and David Maemone (keys/guitar).
The Strike released their debut album, Faint of Heart, in June of 2017, which was met with great enthusiasm nationally. The success of the record allowed them to expand their presence into Los Angeles from the greater Mountain West region, where the band started.
In 2022, the band signed with Nettwerk Music Group and released their follow-up album, The Lost Years, which helped them garner national attention and begin touring. The Strike will be releasing their third studio album in the fall of 2024, recorded with acclaimed producer John Fields (Switchfoot, Ben Rector, Corey Wong).
The Strike is known for their captivating live performances. In an age of musical minimalism, The Strike is reminiscent of rock bands from the '70s and '80s.
They feature true showmanship in an era where the art of performance has been largely forgotten. Chris Crabb's vocal style is akin to rock vocalists such as John Waite and Steve Perry. The band members are all dedicated students of their craft, and those who attend Strike shows become instant fans.
