We are Stratford, a 4-piece emotional rock band from Eminence MO. We are often compared to bands such as 'Brand New' and 'Finch'. But we are different from those bands because we try not to write every song around one particular sound.

Gary Orchard plays drums, Tyler Binlkey plays guitar and does any background vocals or screaming, Thomas Rose plays bass, and Nick Crider Plays guitar and lead vocals. We are influences in all genres of rock, folk, and dance music. And we dont like to write the same song over and over again so all our songs are quite distinguished.

Our location makes it hard for us to get great gigs, but we play everywerer possible and stive to promote our band everwhere we go. We practice at least 2 times a week so we are comfortable with our songs. Lately we have been geeting alot of atention from the st louis area and are planing on booking as many shows as possible up there this summer.

We have everey intent on doing this for the rest of our lives. We have fofited everything els that we have going so we can dedicate more time to the band. Our sound is getting stronger and more and more unique. We have good stage presence, a wide varity of songs and 4 hard working musicians. Remember our name, we wont stop!
