It's been a long time since I’ve shared any news on a personal level (probably not since Serart). I've been hard at work on my solo record titled "Elect The Dead" which we’re looking to release by Fall. It is something that I am really excited about and anxious to share with you, so stay tuned. For the latest news and information, please visit: www.serjicalstrike.com and the soon to be launched www.serjtankian.com and www.myspace.com/serjtankian.


Many of you know by now that I signed the band Fair To Midland to my own Serjical Strike Records. They are an amazing, progressive rock band who put on an energetic live show that I think all of you will enjoy. Their debut album called "Fables From A Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times Is True" is coming out on June 12.


So far, this is what people are saying about the album:

"…it's…Texan quintet Fair To Midland who steal tonight's show (with Dir En Grey and Bleed the Dream), with their off-kilter, keyboard-laden alt-prog rock, falling somewhere in between the soaring heights of Dredg, the erratic gentleness of Coheed And Cambria and the Mars Volta's visionary psychofugues."

– Daniel Lukes, KERRANG! (3/2/07)

The quintet's brawny, dire rock, came off as the real deal, neither as overwrought or whiny as many young bands venturing into that territory. The difference? The range of vocalist Darroh Sudderth, who can belt it out, growl, croon...you name it."

- Kevin Bronson, LATimes.con "Buzz Bands"
