Quotes from the Press:
STRYDER began when the suns rays passed through a Kaleidoscope upon four young boys from the sunshine coast. This gave birth to the rich, moist, colourful sounds of psychedelic rock and roll which the band create. With the release of their new ep 'Kaleidoscope', their music has become an aphrodisiac to music lovers of the world.
“ They (Stryder) absolutely blew our minds...I thought someone was having a go at us because they sounded like Wolfmother or some other massive band...When I heart some of them were 17, I thought 'that's not possible'. These kids are really really good ”
— Mark Pico, Sunshine Coast Daily
“STRYDER produce a rich, moist, colourful psychedelic rock sound and rock it hard on stage. They are like a new age Led Zeppelin.”

“They (Stryder) were amazing - instrumentally they're incredibly talented...they were incredible entertainers, not just musicians”

“The stage presence of Stryder is simply mesmerising. For such a young band they put on such a polished, high energetic and interactive show that is indicative of seasoned rockers twice their age.”
