Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially formed to serve as a fake Fleetwood Mac during a controversial US tour, Stretch quickly established their own identity with 'Elastique'. The debut is a robust fusion of driving blues-rock and heavy funk rhythms, most notably spawning the highly sampled classic 'Why Did You Do It?'.
