Strange Advance

Strange Advance was a Canadian New Wave band formed in 1982. They were nominated for a 1983 Juno Award as Most Promising Group of the Year and again in 1985 as Group of the Year. Their 1982 album Worlds Away was a Canadian gold selling record. Strange Advance was initially made up of Drew Arnot, Darryl Kromm, and Paul Iverson.

The group's first album, Worlds Away, featured the title track "Worlds Away", and their music was a fusion of progressive rock and new wave, with a heavy reliance on synthesizers and keyboards.

The group's 1985 album 2WO used an extensive array of session players and brought the band their first big Canadian hit with "We Run".

Strange Advance's third album, 1988's The Distance Between also used sessioneers (including Randy Bachman and Allan Holdsworth), and produced the top 20 single "Love Becomes Electric". Following this album's release, the group became essentially inactive.

In 1995, the Strange Advance compilation album Worlds Away & Back featured a mix of previously released material, outtakes, remixes, demos, and three newly-recorded tracks.
