The Stranglers

The Stranglers -

Seventies punk icons whose rat-infested songs plagued both the album and singles charts through the subsequent decade. Their compounded musical talents and enthusiasm, infused with large doses of charisma and dark notoriety goes more than a little way to explaining why The Stranglers have survived the vagaries of the music business. These days The Stranglers have at their core original members Jean-Jacques Burnel (bass), Dave Greenfield (keyboards) and Jet Black (drums). Consummate vocalist Paul Roberts has been fronting the band for 12 years and Baz Warne, another musician of considerable pedigree and talent has been the band's guitarist since 2000.
