Injecting Strangers is a five-piece
band from Cincinnati releasing their debut E.P. “Nightmare Nancy” today. They’re
made up of Dylan Oseas and Peter Foley (formerly bass and guitar players for
Automagick), Chase Leonard of Easy Breezy, Aaron Disney (Talk Mouth), and
singer/songwriter Richard Ringer.
The 3 track EP opens with “Lucky,” a wise guy greaser
tune about a mustachioed leader of a tough-as-nails future brigade. The
whole EP falls in line with the band’s just-after-Halloween release date with
fanciful horror subject matter with bits and pieces of playful blasphemy and
curse words sprinkled throughout. “Nightmare Nancy Pt. 1” and the concluding
track “Nightmare Nancy Pt. 2” fallow a mysterious narrative about Nancy, her
father, and a doctor who falls in love with Nancy. Reading like a traditional murder
ballad from the perspective of the doctor, everyone dies in the end but the
details are all fuzzy to imply that only Nancy knows the whole truth.
What’s cool about this band is that, like Ringer’s
solo stuff and Automagic’s live show, the sound they achieve is fast, big, and
somewhere in between weird and goofy. Definitely someone worth looking out for
in the future.
