Here’s what the Owl Mag has to say about it:
The Stripminers was born out of a Sugar Knives music video casting of Brett Anderson, vocalist for The Donnas, and Paul Stinson of the punk band The Radishes. The two musicians got to talking, writing and recording, and formed the newest duo that stands up to other powerhouse guy/girl pairings like John Doe and Exene Cervenka (X) and Jamie Hince and Alison Mossheart (The Kills). Their debut album, Movies, is packed with kick-arse, high energy tunes that get your heart racing from the first raucous chords.
What is most striking about this album is how varied the tracks are, yet they come together seamlessly to school the listener in all that’s awesome in punk, alt-country, and garage rock. We are treated to fast and furious punk-laced songs like “Unnatural Lovers” and “No Luck,” then drift over to the sultry alt-country vibe of “Better Than A Song” and “Poison in the Paint” that is reminiscent of the recent collaboration between Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan. By the time you reach the title track, Movies leaves you completely spent, but with just enough energy to move your finger and tap “Repeat.”
THE BAND WILL ALSO BE SELLING AND SIGNING COPIES AT ALL OF THEIR UPCOMING SHOWS. Visit the Upcoming Shows page for details!
STRIPMINERS TV – EPISODE 2 – LIVE!!

We briefly interrupt our normal programming to bring you a special, live video of “No Luck” from our show at Pappy & Harriets Pioneertown Palace on January 7, 2012. This was shot with one camera by our lovely and talented photographer Elizabeth Sloan using Paul’s Canon Vixia. Not bad for a *relatively* cheapo camera!
“No Luck” was our very first single, released early in 2011, and will also appear on our forthcoming full-length debut album “Movies.”
Ready, Set, LAUNCH VINYL!!

The Stripminers are currently inking an indie deal for a couple collector 7″ vinyl records with…we’d tell you, but – you know.
The first one being a very, very special limited Sunset Junction Issue…100 only! We are just starting out and want to mark our first time at what’s become a landmark LA Festival in style.
Which songs? Brett & Paul are thinking “Movies” and… let’s make that a surprise. If you’ve seen us play you know we have a lot of music to choose from.
…and if you haven’t seen us - how’s Sunset Junction in LA work? Say 3 o’clock Saturday Aug 27th – over on the Bates Stage- Come Holler!
Or sooner - Vegan Beer Fest II @ The Roxy Saturday afternoon June 25th, maybe?
That’s all folks. You may now return to your regularly scheduled activity. Thank you for you attention.

SXSW was great! We did a few shows in Austin~ Annie’s West with Sea Shepard and Pop Anti Pop, Van’s Showcase at Emos and The Rusty Spur with our friends from Swing House Studios and De”Adarrio Strings.
Texas was mighty good to us, we hope it’s been good to you!
Highlights from the Van’s showcase with Off ….. We were first so don’t blink at the start or you’ll miss our 5 seconds of glory -but we are the soundtrack.
