Strike Anywhere

About

Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1999, Strike Anywhere is an American punk rock band that emerged after the dissolution of frontman Thomas Barnett's previous group, Inquisition. The band adopted their name from an Inquisition song titled "Strike Anywhere." Their musical style is defined by fast tempos, catchy melodies, and emotionally charged vocals that blend shouting with singing techniques. The band gained wider recognition after their tracks were featured in three Tony Hawk video games spanning the mid-2000s: "Refusal" appeared in Tony Hawk's Underground in 2003, "Question the Answer" in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland in 2005, and "The Promise" in Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam in 2006. Beyond video game placements, Strike Anywhere was also featured in the documentary Wake Up Screaming, which documented the 2005 Vans Warped Tour.
