Total Stranger Mean Season

For the 5th release in MelodicRock Classic's 500 Series, we turn once again to Canada for another fine slice of Canuck melodic rock.
Total Stranger shouldn't be too unfamiliar - the band released a self-titled album in Japan in 1997, reissued later as part of a double disc version of their 2002 album 'Obsession'.

But before both of those record came the band's initial recordings in the form of a 1990 cassette only release and a 1996 EP released on vinyl only.

Now in 2023, with remastering as per usual by the great JK Northrup, Total Stranger's original output has found its way onto CD for the very first time.

This limited edition 500 unit only release, titled 'Mean Season' is due out on MRC July 28.

Al Langlade (Lead Vocals, Keyboards, Rhythm Guitars)
