In the ten years of its melodic and angry existence, Strike Anywhere has consistently grabbed listeners with a passion that comes straight off of the band members’ heart-covered sleeves. Any music fan does themselves a disservice not to see this band live – to witness and partake in the flurry of fists all lead by a chorus of one. The raspy eloquence continues with the new album, Iron Front, on October 6, almost exactly a decade after they played their first show ever. Lead singer Thomas Barnett generously took a break from his morning coffee and Patsy Cline to speak to Gen Handley over the phone about the new album, how to evade Nazi skinheads in Moscow as well as some sound advice he received from a fellow punk vocalist.
