Melbourne-bred punk quintet Strickland have been quietly making preparations ahead of this Friday's release of their debut full-length album, Human, but the noise and buzz is building steadily and now theMusic.com.au is stoked to be hosting this exclusive stream of the album in full for you to enjoy right here and now.
Strickland have only been kicking around collectively since 2010, but in that time they've asserted themselves as a group to watch amid the burgeoning Victorian scene, stepping up to support local and international mainstays such as Tonight Alive, The Story So Far, Neck Deep, The Wonder Years, The Ataris, MxPx, Rufio, Miss May I and The Getaway Plan.
Human has already yielded a pair of singles for the band, in the form of The Fear - which turned triple j listeners' heads when it made its debut on Short.Fast.Loud, and has since clocked up 15,000-odd views on YouTube - and follow-up cut Suffering, featuring Dream On Dreamer's Marcel Gadacz.
Make your way through the aural lusciousness above, and keep your eyes peeled for future announcements from the Strickland camp in the near future — we have a feeling it's gonna be a big year for them.
