The Roster

Adam Ian Stratmeyer

Principal artist. Blind Text Albums. South Dakota. Adam Ian Stratmeyer — Subscription album tracklist

The primary output node for Blind Text. Catalog spans raw punk-adjacent rock through country-inflected territory. "Subscription" is the anchor release — 11 tracks, 32:58, produced and distributed through the Blind Text pipeline.

DIVVY up the PANIC

Rock music. ℗ blind text. August 2025. DIVVY up the PANIC — self-titled LP album art

Self-titled LP, 11 tracks, released August 2025 under blind text. "That Jazz" also live under the same artist profile. Straight-ahead rock with the Blind Text approach: no compromise on the recording, no committee sign-off.

Strata-Thunder

High-voltage. No apologies. Strata-Thunder — Thunderstroke album art

Strata-Thunder is the heavy-output arm. The aesthetic is exactly what the poster communicates: overdriven, cinematic, and unapologetic about it. "Thinking with My Dick" is live on YouTube via DistroKid auto-gen. Direct and working.

Sugar and Grains Mash Band

Punk-bluegrass mash. Black Hills grit. Co-written with Jason Kimmer & Adam Stratmeyer. Sugar and Grains Mash Band — Insecure Saturday

Black Hills outfit running punk rock energy through bluegrass and old-time grit. Written and performed from the ground up — no distribution infrastructure yet, tracks live primarily on YouTube. If you want unfiltered output from the same soil Blindtext runs on, this is it.

Heritage / Origins

"Blindtext isn't manufactured in a vacuum. It runs as a direct continuation of the Black Hills underground—the same soil that grew the Rapid City punk scene. No permission asked, no suits involved. Sovereign tracking and deployment from the notebook outward."

The proof of work is documented. The Rapid City Punk Rock Archive holds the full band registry, scene timeline, KTEQ radio broadcasts from '89–'91, flyers from the Eat At Marv's era, and VHS and audio dumps. This is not nostalgia. This is pedigree.

Live performance — Black Hills underground, circa early 1990s

The archive is a proper MediaWiki instance—raw, community-built, focused on real tapes, flyers, and live recordings from the era. No current entries for Blindtext projects yet, which is fine; the link stands as historical grounding, not forced insertion.

On Distribution

Everything on the Blind Text side routes through the same backend (Blind Text / DistroKid). Spotify, Bandcamp, Tidal, and the rest should resolve via standard artist search or aggregator landing pages as they propagate. Gaps are noted above and owned — distributors take time. Once new drops index, the same nodes scale.

Known gaps as of April 2026: Boomplay profile empty (distributor push in progress). YouTube Music hashtag search returning nothing useful for #ammoniumnitrate — tracks not indexed there yet. See the About page for full distribution notes and contact.

Support the Catalog

Direct support keeps the operation running on its own terms. No label overhead, no platform cuts beyond the processor.
