One of the greatest bands of their era. Nothing tops the moody magic of those first two albums.
-
That Bass was the soundtrack to my youth.
-
I'm so happy so many people appreciate this band as much as I do. Preposterously underrated, rock and roll brilliance.
-
I remember well at the time how the Stranglers were considered by the muso media, mainly the NME. They were slated constantly as not being "real" punks, whatever that meant. Looking back nearly 40 years the truth is they were about the best, the loudest, the naughtiest and the most punk of them all.

First saw The Stranglers in 1979 when I was 13. Seen them over a 100 times since. Still my all time favourite band,made me feel young again.Cheers!
-
This band meant everything to me. Something better change was a call to arms. An incredible live band, with fantastic tunes, and a depth that no other punk band could dream about. Stunning stuff. .
-
Just listen to that Bass. Kin excellent footage.
-
absolutely almighty! I saw them lots of times around this time period in various locations in london when I was a nipper (along with The Pirates and Dr Feelgood) and the energy was incredible. I thought they were fairly old blokes at the time, but now, watching this vid, they look soo young!!! How time changes perception. Brilliant band.
-
man, that is sweet footage
-
I was a young punk in the late seventies and saw the stranglers and the clash Etc and they were both the best live bands at the time and remember buying strangled Fanzine
-
the Stranglers at their menacing best! This band never really have gotten the credits they deserved for being one of the most interesting bands coming out of the punk era.
-
I absolutely love this version of these songs. Especially the bass. It has much more attitude
-

The Stranglers were so Punk! A lot of people didn’t and still don’t consider them Punk just because they had a keyboard player. Punk isn’t a look or a sound, it’s an attitude!! The Stranglers definitely have the attitude!!!
-
Musically gifted genius, with attitude and an immense number of top quality tracks!!!
-
Whether they were punk or not never mattered..the fact is they were original... a sound that can't be confused to this day...and a canon of great clever music whether aggressive or tender......Still in my top four fave bands of all time.....and the most under rated band of all time. No More Heroes..what an understatement today!

RIP Jet Black & Dave Greenfield
