Teal Stripe was once referred to as “bubble crust” by a trusted friend who has good opinions on music. The term perfectly encapsulates the synthesis of blistering distorted guitar, sugary melodies and acerbic lyrics that the band is known for. The band is lead by Dallas TX native Alex Atchley. Officially founded in 2021, but their history reaches back much further.
The band was originally helmed by Atchley and life-long friend and frequent collaborator, Jack Harris. As a duo they confounded audiences across America with their drum machine backed, high energy performances. Their 2nd album, Forget, had been in progress since before the release of their first, Heavy Metal and is set to release in October of 2025.
Harris has since departed the band to focus on other projects, leaving Atchley to finish the album with other life-long friends and collaborators. That’s how the band started, so they might as well stay consistent. Anyway, Teal Stripe continues as a five piece band with members of other Dallas and Denton based musicians to to bear the torch of so-called bubble crust.
Teal Stripe is based out of the Dallas TX area.
