Description

First forming in 1974, The Stranglers’ straight talking approach gave them the reputation as aggressive and confrontational with their notoriety later embraced by the punk movement of ‘77. This led to their debut single Grip and their legendary first album Rattus Norvegicus. This was followed by such hits as Peaches, No More Heroes, Strange Little Girl, Duchess, Something Better Change, Always the Sun and their ultimate classic Golden Brown.
