Austin, Texas’ The Strange Boys aren’t strangers to nation-wide traveling. Being signed to both a non-U.S. (Rough Trade Records) and a U.S. label (In the Red Records), they tend to get around. After touring across Europe and the UK this summer, the boys have made it back to the States where they recorded their sophomore album Be Brave, which is set to release in the U.S. on January 26th, 2010.

The Strange Boys continue to pour their Southern and psychedelic garage rock through their new material just as they did on their prior release and Girls Club. If you want to hear the title track, “Be Brave,” you can stream it on the band’s MySpace page (where they have a habit of being selective/stingy with only streaming limited tracks). If you’re more into the live scene, check out this video from this year’s Fun Fun Fun Festival:

In support of the upcoming album, the band will be kicking off their U.S. tour in February:
