Bartees Strange, born Bartees Cox Jr. in 1989 in Ipswich, England, grew up in Mustang, Oklahoma, and now works out of Baltimore, and his music sounds like all those places were fighting over the stereo. Live Forever, in 2020, introduced him with "Boomer", a restless, hard-charging song that doesn't sit still long enough to be pinned down.
Farm to Table, released in 2022, is where rock radio caught on. "Wretched" swells from a quiet confession into a big, cathartic rush, and "Heavy Heart" rides a bright, surging guitar line straight into a chorus built for singing along.
The Wants Needs EP arrived in 2025 with "Sober", another step in a career that refuses to sit still.
