Stringerbessant is the moniker for the musical collaboration between two friends, Gary Stringer & Jack Bessant. Prior to this, the two men have worked together in the successful English rock band Reef (band) & the knucklehead metal act Them is Me.

Stringerbessant is the polar opposite of anything the pair have previously been involved with musically.

Yard

In 2010 they released their debut album 'Yard ' through xtramilerecordings.com that resulted in a busy 2011 including gigs & festivals both at home in England and abroad .

"StringerBessant have crafted something great, a world away from anything the two men have previously done." - mediaessentials.co.uk

"It cuts back the layers of bravado and flash showmanship often associated with the music of these two musicians, offering an intimate glimpse seldom seen." - Ben Walton, ContactMusic.com

"StringerBessant are, if only for now, a well-kept secret – make sure you’re in on it." - Rinasrantsandramblings

Wild Day ep

That same year the duo also released a e.p entitled 'wild day' which included a fully acoustic version of the Reef (band) song Mellow ,also released through xtra_mile _recordings.
