“The first Okie Indie Music Hub sampler includes a wide variety of artists from the Oklahoma music scene....Sticky Stranglets’ own brand of alternative rock is next with “Topsy Turvy World”... One thing for sure, The Okie Indie Music Hub's Quarterly Music Sampler showcases the varied and diverse music scene in Oklahoma, which has artists from nearly every genre under the sun playing their hearts out. ”

— Dave Brown, Oklahoma Lefty

"Sticky Stranglets is an alternative rock band from Oklahoma City. The band’s debut record, Scissor Hissy, is an ode to doing things yourself; the band recorded, produced, and released the album completely on their own. Sonically, Sticky Stranglets are a band that sounds like they grew up on and love them some ‘90s alternative rock. Depending on the song, Scissor Hissy goes from a fuzzy Smashing Pumpkins vibe to a funky Faith No More vibe to a bouncy Dave Matthews Band vibe. There are also darker hints of things like Type O Negative (see “Inertia”) and a smidgen of Alice In Chains meets Morrissey (on “There Is”). What Sticky Stranglets does well is mixes these divergent influences to create a sound and vibe that is all their own. I’m definitely interested to see what this band does next."

— Dave Brown, Oklahoma Lefty

"I STORM the Sticky Strangles" Until last week, I had never heard of a local band called the Sticky Stranglets. But then someone named Captain C-Note sent me a link to their music video for the track “Topsy Turvy World.” With all apologies to Red City Radio, Josh Sallee and the Non, they now may be my favorite local band.

— Patrick James, The Lost Ogle

“...It's been cool having all these great new artists to The Cox Rocks Music Show, like this next group, STICKY STRANGLETS. Folks, this is a collective of Oklahoma-based artists and musicians.

"The video is fun and has personality, which is what you want from a video since there is so much to compete with now. Concert videos are throwaways, so you did a good job stepping up to something thAt is more attention grabbing."
