Strawberry (band)

Strawberry was a Canadian indie pop group formed on Prince Edward Island in 1993.

Vocalist Deirdre Smith, guitarist Scott Garratt, and bassist Brian Arsenault comprised the foundation of the band. Other members, at various times, included Mike MacDougall, Pat Deighan, Craig MacPherson, Jon King, Roger Carter, Kieran Macnamara and Simon Moore.

In 1994, they released a split-7" single with Plumtree on Cinnamon Toast Records.

In 1996, the band signed to Janken Pon/Cargo Records. The label released Strawberry's Into the Sky 7" single that year.

No Records released the band's only full-length album, Brokeheart Audio, in 1998. Two cassette only albums were self-released, Strawberry (1993) and Beached (1995).

Deirdre Smith also recorded and performed as a guest vocalist with Shalabi Effect, appearing on their self-titled debut. "On The Bowery", Smith's contribution to the album, was described by Mark Richard-San of Pitchfork Media as "outstanding".

Smith was subsequently a member of Valley of the Giants who released a self-titled album on Arts&Crafts in 2004.
