Hi

Had a good listen and it sounds excellent, back to their early eighties sound... love the swirling synth sounds, reminded me of nice in nice!

Is the lead singer still the same though, i thought he left and they got someone new in?? Still, great stuff though.

Played the clip (well found) you posted (its more like the complete song)!!! ha

C'mon guys, we've got it to No. 31 this week, get it higher and the BBC will have to get them on TOTP. The single is only £1.99 and they've re-recorded 'Peaches' for it as well.

BUY IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT !!!!

(chart return shops tho eh, HMV etc)

The Stranglers have been playing regularly in and around their home town of Guildford for years! They've just not been releasing anything.
