In this edition of “Have You Heard,” we try and turn up the volume on some killer rock that you may or may not have heard of yet. I also catch up with Canadian rockers Striker. I met up with Striker vocalist Dan Cleary as the band rolled into town on their current US tour. Dan and I talk about everything from the benefits of being a Canadian band to the current struggles of breaking a band and the latest album release “Play To Win.”
Striker is a Canadian heavy metal band from Edmonton formed in 2007. The band’s early material had a sound influenced more by old school thrash metal, but their more recent material has a more melodic sound influenced by traditional heavy metal.

While I was listening to the tracks by Striker that were played on the podcast I kept thinking, the vocals sound so familiar but I just couldn’t place it. Then at the end, I believe Sonny mentions the John Sykes vocal familiarity with Dan Cleary and … BAM!!! He’s right! Thanks for sharing this band, and the others mentioned in the episode.
Barry, Thanks for listening. Yep Sonny nailed it.
