The Estranged are headed out on the road this summer. The Portland act will be supporting their new LP / CD Static Thoughts, due this June on Dirtnap Records. .

Members of The Estranged have a lengthly history in Portland's hardcore/crust scene in bands such as Hellshock, Warcry, Remains of the Day and Absolute Rulers. The label describes their sound as "crushing, ominous post punk ala Wipers meets Mission of Burma meets Warsaw/Joy Division."
