	The Stranglers
		The Stranglers were unusually tuneful with a unique sound based on a growling base and swirling keyboards.
		Along with this the Stranglers added aggression, their intellect oand a playful sense of deliberately provoking reaction.
		Sadly The Stranglers have never been given the credit they deserve, largely being forgotten in books written about this time by the same journalists who pilloried them or being summarily dispatched as karate kicking, organ grinding violent / sexists.

		The Stranglers formed as the Guildford Stranglers in the southern England village of Chiddington (near Guildford) in 1974, plowing a heavily Doors-influenced furrow through the local pub rock scene -- such as it was.
		Unfortunately, though the Stranglers themselves reveled in an almost Monty Python-esque grasp of absurdity (and, in particular, the absurdities of modern "men's talk"), there was an undercurrent of violence which not only permeated their music, it also, inevitably, spilled into their live shows.
		That it is those earliest years which remain the Stranglers' most popular is not surprising -- from bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music which may have been ugly and might have been crude -- but it was never, ever boring.

	Falk's Faves - The Stranglers
		The Stranglers' early work is most properly described as stripped-down pop played with a hardcore sensibility; fairly lengthy songs with frequent solo breaks, prominent keyboard usage, and occasional employment of vocal harmony sets them apart from their peers.
		As were their contemporaries the Vibrators, the Stranglers were faux-punks; grimy, slightly arty rockers that found the notoriety surrounding punk bands too irresistible to ignore.
		The Stranglers offered no sense of outrage (despite being outrageous) or unpredictability, every moved seemed calculated, as if it were an approximation of a punk aesthetic.

	The Stranglers - Virgin Radio
		They were originally called The Guildford Stranglers and operated out of an off licence in the Surrey town called the 'Jackpot' which was run by their drummer.
		The Stranglers were, beginning in 1976, tangentially associated with punk rock, due in part to their opening for The Ramones' first British tour.
		The Stranglers were also associated with New Wave as well as gothic rock, but their idiosyncratic approach never fit completely within any musical genre.

		The Stranglers have returned to a four-piece line-up, with founding keyboardist Dave Greenfield, original drummer Jet Black, and original bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel, who shares vocal duties with guitarist Baz Warne, who joined the group in 2001.
		First formed in 1974 as the Guilford Stranglers by Burnel, Black, Greenfield and Hugh Cornwell, The Stranglers’ fl humor and straight-talking approach was initially interpreted by many as aggressive on its face.
		The Stranglers’ last album for EMI, Norfolk Coast, was released in 2004 and was critically acclaimed as their best in more than 20 years.

	Stranglers Black And White CD United Kingdom
		The Stranglers wer't just another punk band they were something more than all that and this i think is the album that demonstrates this perfectly.
		By 1978 The Stranglers were firmly established as a top-drawer new wave band with 2 excellent albums under their belt, however the third proved to be slightly disappointing.
		And some of these new avenues were excellent..."Nice and sleazy" is a fantastic pseudo-reggae tune, "Tank" is typical Stranglers at 300 miles an hour and "Toiler on the sea" and the spooky "In the shadows" are 2 of the best-ever Stranglers numbers...however...the high standard is not maintained across the whole LP.

		A number of current bands cite the Stranglers as an influence; concerts are packed; and the loyalty of their fans is legendary -- following the band from gig to gig (both domestically and around the world) and amassing huge collections of recordings and memorabilia are common-place.
		To the Stranglers and those that knew them, this was the culmination of all their persistence over a two-year period; ironically, their signing angered a number of established bands who thought that these "punk upstarts" had come from nowhere!
		The Stranglers may be nearly thirty years old, and have seen many changes in their career, but we can certainly look forward to plenty more exciting years in fl.

	The Stranglers @ Shepherd's Bush Empire, London : gig review
		I came late to The Stranglers - both to the music, having got to love them through a (shock, horror) "best of" album, and to the gig (whoever heard of a rock band - let alone an erstwhile punk rock band - being on stage at the allotted hour?).
		So front man Paul Roberts was already glistening with sweat underneath his open fl shirt as he writhed and contorted a very trim body to the anthemic strains of Always The Sun, and this 25th Anniversary gig was well under way.
		However raw early Stranglers could be, there was always a surprising musicality behind it, usually the result of Greenfield's inspired keyboards.

	The Stranglers - Discography and Biog
		One of the longest-surviving acts from the British new wave explosion of the late 70s, the Stranglers first rehearsed in Guildford as early as 1974.
		In February 1977 the Stranglers' debut single, "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)", reached number 44 in the UK charts and inexplicably dropped out after only one week.
		According to the chart compilers, the sales were inadvertently assigned to another record, but it was too late to rectify the damage.

	Punk Brighton SJ Reviews The Stranglers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Released in April 1977, The Stranglers notorious debut immediately made a distinctly controversial impression on the media while selling like the proverbial hotcakes, pushing it to the number four position in the nation's album chart.
		John Peel, that champion of the unfashionable, had played the bands first single Grip/London Lady, quite a bit, and the constant gigging the Stranglers had done for the previous two years had finally born fruit.
		It was scintillating stuff and the notion of an entire album of Stranglers songs was a mighty interesting proposition to us.

		Yes, the director should've had a camera on JJ, but despite this major omission, it's a decent film of a shit-hot band who, as Gangarene quite rightly says, are "tighter than a duck's arse".
		Hugh Cornwell was a great Strangler, and still is a great singer/songwriter.
		But the Stranglers are all great - and without Hugh they are still a great band - perhaps not quite as great as before - but still great nevertheless.

		It may be said The Stranglers, with so many musical styles, lacked an identity of their own, but there's no denying the 15 tracks on this disc offer an upbeat, addictive listening experience.

		The Stranglers formed as the Guildford Stranglers in the southern England village of Chiddington (near Guildford) in 1974, plowing a heavily Doors-influenced furrow through the local pub rock scene -- such as it was.
		According to Thompson, their repertoire stretched from "Smokestack Lightning" and the blues, through to "old Kiki Dee B-sides," while their gigging was largely confined to the Hornsey School of Art, where Thompson's sister was Social Secretary.
		Black and White was previewed by the hits "Five Minutes" and "Nice'n'Sleazy" (self-mythology in a nutshell), and was swiftly followed by one of the band's finest moments, a murderously slowed-down version of Bacharach/David's "Walk on By."

	Stranglers >> Aversion.com
		Growing from standard pub rock R&B to punk and later into more inventive sounds, the Stranglers grew up alongside the bands from the British punk explosion, though they musically followed a different path.
		Mixing keyboards in with stripped-down rock, the Stranglers sound evokes both the Doors and classic punk rock.
		With an attitude matching the most aggressive of the punk outfits, the Stranglers were frequently censored for obscenity and once arrested for inciting a riot, though the band’s musical output lacks the charge of four-on-the-floor punk groups.
