Strawberry Switchblade on TweeNet Strawberry Switchblade were classic New Pop; categorised by most alongside Howard Jones, but in truth belonging to the Morley defined elite. Strawberry Switchblade went way beyond snobbish elitism, and when 'Since Yesterday' finally hit the charts in the January lull, we were the ones cheering loudest. Strawberry Switchblade never made a record for Creation, though there was a lot of talk and hopes. www.twee.net /bands/strawberrysw.html   (3299 words)

CMT.com : Strawberry Switchblade : Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Strawberry Switchblade became the opening act for Orange Juice. Strawberry Switchblade broke up in 1986, burned out from the pressure of having to sell records. Although short-lived, Strawberry Switchblade developed a worldwide cult following years after they quit recording, and their only full-length was reissued on CD in Japan in the early ‘90s. www.cmt.com /artists/az/strawberry_switchblade/bio.jhtml   (477 words)

Strawberry Switchblade: album reviews and ratings For those who had the contradictory mix of self-consciousness and passion, of insecurity and fervour, the awkward, delicate, fragile confusion and paradox of bittersweet happy-sad pop was there.". Bright and unprejudiced, they twitter with their harmonic beat like butterflies over a meadow; and in doing so, touch not only on the fresh harmonies of the 60's (Mamas and Papas) but also on the insouciant, sparsely-instrumented music of early Velvet Underground. The songs on Strawberry Switchblade bloom melodically, cheekily, childishly and rampant on the pulsating field of a complex beat instrumentation, whereby melancholy ballads in orotund pop clothing (with strings and oboes) alternate with quicker dance numbers (in the style of their hit 'Since Yesterday'). www.musicfolio.com /modernrock/strawberryswitchblade.html   (363 words)

erasing clouds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) For a moment it feels like being back in the early '80s, but fear not, we're not in a time capsule, but at Glasgow's CCA where an unusual Telstar Ponies gig is taking place. Unusual because the act opening the gig is ex-Strawberry Switchblade and later Circle/Current 93/Psychic Tv/Death in June/Coil collaborator (and member of Sorrow and Spell with Boyd Rice!) Rose McDowall. The '80s seem far away right now since the songs she plays are not the sugary poptastic wee gems that rewarded Strawberry Switchblade with fame and a Smash Hits cover. www.erasingclouds.com /20april.html   (292 words)

Strawberry Switchblade : Since Yesterday - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Since Yesterday is basically an extended version of Strawberry Switchblade's 1985 self-titled debut. It doesn't change the fact that Strawberry Switchblade is a band that people will either love or hate; the little-girl harmonies of Rose McDowall and Jill Bryson repelled as many listeners as they attracted during the '80s. Strawberry Switchblade was already a fine LP, but Since Yesterday adds their hard-to-find cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene." The ladies transform the country classic into a club favorite with pulsating disco keyboards; it is irresistibly cute. www.artistdirect.com /nad/store/artist/album/0,,930725,00.html   (270 words)

EmptyFree.com :: Strawberry Switchblade If you’re not familiar with Strawberry Switchblade, they were this amazing pop group in the mid-80s from Scotland. After Strawberry Switchblade, Rose went on to play drums for Felt, sing for Psychic TV, Church of Raism, Death In June and Current 93, and now has her own project called Sorrow. By the way, the Japanese import CD reissue of the first and only Strawberry Switchblade album is definitely worth the $20+ pricetag. www.emptyfree.com /index.php?p=340&c=1   (931 words)

The Mick Sinclair Archive: Strawberry Switchblade IF WE ARE TO HAVE Pop Stars then make mine the ones that cock-a-snook to the crown jewels of their chart placings and are strong and strange enough to be a part of and apart from the industry. Strawberry Switchblade are deceptively strong and marvellously strange. The knowledge that Rose used to be in a group called The Poems who once made a single financed, at least partly, by shoplifting tends to imbue her current endeavours with a somewhat sterner significance. micksinclair.com /zigzag/strawb.html   (2464 words)

[No title] SORROW is an English-based band that is the brain child of Rose McDowall, once known as one half of the 80s pop duo, STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE.

Sorted magAZine: Sorrow - Sleep Now Forever (Piski Disk) As half of Strawberry Switchblade, Rose's baby-doll voice and dark music, as well as the famous polka-dots, were more than well-known. Sorrow, however, is closer to Strawberry Switchblade's dark pop than any of those acts. This is Strawberry Switchblade grown up, less poppy and more atmospheric, music awash with traditional and classical instruments, topped with Rose's voice, which still has a light baby-doll feel, but has matured and improved over the years. www.sortedmagazine.com /Albums.php3?nID=4   (287 words)

Lexicon -- Strawberry Switchblade - A Primer Polka dots and ribbons in their hair, the Switchblade came rumbling out of Scotland in early 1984 and with in a year were gone again, consigned to the dust heap of pop history. He got Ian Muculloch (the lead singer of Echo), who had started his own label to press the Switchblade's first single, "Trees and Flowers." It was also, coincidentally, the label's first single. Backing the Switchblade on this great single was an all star cast: Two members from Madness, the Fun Boy Three back up singers (not Bannanrama!), and Roddy Frame (who is basically Aztec Camera). www.80s-membersonly.com /lexicon/pastissues/lexicon_strawswitch.html   (1076 words)

Strawberry Switchblade - The Platinum Collection Frequently remembered as one-hit wonders, Strawberry Switchblade's three minutes of fame occured back in 1984 with the cute electro-pop ditty 'Since Yesterday'. Although publicised as an introduction to their music, this collection contains virtually the entire recorded works of songwriting duo Rose McDowell and Jill Bryson, including all the tracks from their one and only album, albeit in confusingly random order. Looking back it's a shame that they didn't progress to a second album but at least this compilation does justice to a fine act whose songs have stood the test of time pretty well. www.leonardslair.co.uk /strawberry.htm   (178 words)
