Model Stranger, a Chicago-based alternative rock band, draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of rock and roll spanning the 1960s to the 1990s. Dubbed "rock n' roll classicists" by the Chicago press, they offer an eclectic synthesis of psychedelic grunge and classic rock. With a mantra of "an analog band living in a digital world," their sound resonates with lovers of rock while introducing a fresh and distinctive style. The trio comprises vocalist/guitarist Stephen Francis, bassist Kevin James, and drummer Vincent Joseph. In July 2022, they released a new single titled "Surrender."
