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.
