Formed in 1989 by guitarist David Butler, bassist Bill Bruening, and
drummer Martin Shearer, Stranglmartin was signed with Dallas, TX based
Dragon Street Records within weeks after releasing their first
demo-tape.
Stranglmartin released its 1st self-titled album with Dragon
Street Records in late 1989. The record was critically acclaimed and
rated as one of the top 10 records of the year by the Gavin Report. The
record charted on over 200 radio stations and spent 21 weeks on the CMJ
weekly radio polls. The band, frustrated with record distribution
problems and belief that the record lacked the raw energy that defined
the group ultimately led to Stranglmartin and Dragon Street parting
ways.
Stranglmarting recorded What's your Problem - live at the
Wrocklage in 1991. The recordings (raw/energetic) were utilized by
Dragon Street Records primarily for marketing.
The 1st album was re-released in Europe by Musidisc Records.
Stranglmartin promoted their records extensively across the US touring
with Goo Goo Dolls, and in Europe with Red Cross.
Stranlgmartin released Wiregrass in 1993 with Wrocklage
Records. The release was also critically acclaimed , but did not
receive the promotion nor radio play that the first record had.
Following the Wiregrass release, bassist Bruening departed
and was replaced by Chad Hurley. The band released their final album
'For the Sake or Argument' with SafeHouse Records in 1995, and later
disbanded ending the Stranglmartin era.
