After years of playing in metal bands that went nowhere 2008 Jim decided to take the bull by the horns and start his own project. His new band The Proud and the Damned would be based around American Roots music but with the bombast of heavy metal and gloomy atmosphere and low vocals of gothic rock. Guitarist Kyle Faircloth joined soon after and brought a flashy lead guitar element to the sound. "Extremely well produced, “The Devil is in Demand” showcases Jim Strange’s ability to incorporate different musical elements." Aiden-Midnight Calling Ezine "Inspired by sludgy Doom Metal and Country Western storytellers alike, it’s the mythology and lore of the darker side of religion and humanity that inspires him to put pen to paper and with that, he takes a match to it with sonic fury.

Hunter Gatherer-Oregon Music News Their new album Pox Americana, rips the lid off the seedy underbelly of America in 2013. The band considers it their strongest yet and looking forward to having it heard. "New album is done! It will be called Pox Americana and will be out in a matter of months.
