About
Three musicians. One relentless sound.
The Story
Straitjacket Vacation was born in a living room rehearsal space in 2024.
From the ashes of a previous band. Mike and Bob quickly evolved their own sound
determined to push volume and atmosphere to their limits.
After looking for over a year and finally finding their third member Shannon, they are fully prepaired and ready to play shows anywhere at any time, so feel free to contact us today.
Drawing influence from classic rock, alternative, progressive metal, and many more genres.
The band writes songs that feel both crushing and expansive that appeals to a very wide audience.
Their live shows are known for their intensity, insantiy, and tight execution.
Driven by motivation and a love for performing, the trio is willing to play on any stage and offers their high-octane performance for a reasonable price.
They guarantee that fans always have a great time, never failing to leave a positive, lasting impression on everyone who attends.
Original Music and Unique Covers
The band’s setlist showcases a diverse range of genres and tempos, featuring original tracks like "Addiction," "Scrape Me Up," "Rehab Baby," and "Trump Card."
These songs highlight their songwriting depth and unique energetic style.
