The New Strange, may very well be one of the most appropriately named projects to come along in a long time….  The unlikely duo is set to release their musical take on one of the biggest pop hits of all time Benny Mardones “Into The Night”

The New Strange is a unique musical partnership between James Durbin, of American Idol fame and journeyman rock guitarist Alex Grossi.

After hearing the Benny Mardones classic “Into The Night” playing on a Waffle House jukebox James and Alex on a whim decided to take a stab at recording a “Rock” version of the double platinum hit song. Upon hearing their rough mix it was clear that what they ended up with was more than just a simple “re-make” and they sent the track to Mardones himself!

“Into The Night” is unusual for being one of only 10 recordings in history to ever ascend to the Top 20 of Billboard Hot 100 chart twice  first in 1980 and again in 1989 and to this day is one of the top 25 most played songs on American Radio.
