What inspires Sex With Strangers? #RIML

Records In My Life had the pleasure of interviewing Hatch Benedict and Cory Price of the band Sex With Strangers just before soundcheck at the Fox Cabaret this October.  Sex With Strangers
is celebrating their sixth studio album, "Discourse," produced by Jason Corbett (Northern Light Records). 

Sex With Strangers have a new video out for the first single Gift of Fear and are already in production with the follow up. 



The band goes back a long ways with me, and a big part of my love for them has always been their humour.  I think the interview shows a glimpse into the world of Sex With Strangers, though it would take more than six minutes to capture the energy of friends making music together for 20 years!

In case you've missed SWS's immense repertoire over the past decade, here's a fun place to start.  New City Anthem from their Tokyo Steel album.

New City Anthem Video update

So far there've been three nights of filming for the upcoming video of New City Anthem - first single from The Tokyo Steel.

The house party scenes were a blast, over forty people showed up through out the evening and danced with the abandon only 216 cans of beer can provide. The BKS production team worked their respective asses off throughout that day as well as the following outdoor scenes that involved the face off between the two "unreals" which should become the finale of the video. Things are looking good.

A big thank you to each and everyone for attending and helping out. A great night for sure. It was a delight to see members of Vancouver band's Accost, Boyfriends and Girlfriends, Spotlight Carnival, and Danny Echo all in attendance.

The New City Anthem video is scheduled for debut on Nov 21st, as part of the Sex With Stranger's Media Club show, also here in Vancouver.
