The Strange Familiar is an American pop rock band from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The group was originally formed in 2006 by the husband and wife singer-songwriter team Jeff Andrea and Kira Leyden, former members of the popular Akron, OH band Jaded Era. Their first single, "Courage Is...", gained them significant attention after it was heavily promoted on ABC Family to launch a brand new series.[1] In 2012, the band was featured on mtvU,[2] Season 3 of the hit series The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars.[3] Other members include fellow Ohio natives Frank Freeman (bass) and Nicholas Sainato (drums).
