 Strange
Condition
Feb 2004
When Strange Condition takes their
sound (which has been compared to Incubus, Matchbox20,
Staind, and Nickelback) to the stage they create a
visually stimulating performance with a passionate
energy that is unmatched. Their songs originate from
a love deep in their souls and no band expresses that
love better than they do. While performing, their
emotion drifts across the audience like a sonic wind
through wheat until the packed house is jumping, moving,
and singing with the energy these five create. The
fervor they've displayed has earned them a reputation
as the best live act in Colorado and is evident from
the sold out shows at top clubs in Denver and Ft.
Collins like Herman's Hideaway, The Soiled Dove, the
Fillmore Auditorium, The Starlight Lounge, Linden's,
Archer's, and the Aggie theater.
Setting the foundation for their
marketable sound is the solid combination of Cody
Kasten on drums and Marcon on bass. Cody's playful
style, including a creative use of toms and high-hat
work, keeps the audience moving at all times. Marcon
drives the songs along, augmenting Cody's rhythm with
subtle use of notes. Building upon the tightest rhythm
section in Colorado, Jas Kasten's infectious, hook-laden
guitar style snares the audience whether he's playing
a mellow acoustic, an intricate melody, or crunching
it up thick and heavy. Jas' sound alternates between
a punch in the teeth to a soothing caress. The most
distinct feature of Strange Condition lies in their
unique use of two singers. Whether it's Chad Pinther
seducing listeners with a melody more raw, or Ryan
Malloy's mesmerizing, polished voice, each singer
more than stands on his own. However, when they combine
their perfectly complemented voices into heaven-dropped
harmonies, they produce a vocal torrent of unequalled
passion and emotion.
With the release of their debut
album, Ebullition in July of 2003, the future for
Strange Condition is only more promising. While working
with Grammy award winning engineers, they were able
to self-produce an album that not only captures the
excitement and intensity of their live shows, but
also demonstrates the intricacies and subtle touches
of fine musicianship. It is only a matter of time
before Strange Condition becomes a not so strange
name across the country.
