The
Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via thepunk rockscene. Scoring 23 UK Top 40 singles and 19 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the
Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene.
Formed as the Guildford
Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s output. They had major mainstream success with their 1982 single 'Golden Brown'. Their other hits include 'No More Heroes', 'Peaches' 'Skin Deep' 'Always the Sun' and 'Big Thing Coming'.
Buzzcocks are an English punk rock band singer-songwriter-guitarist Pete
Shelley and singer-songwriter
Howard Devoto formed in Bolton in 1976. During their career, the band combined elements of punk rock, power pop, and pop punk. They achieved commercial success with singles that fuse pop craftsmanship with rapid-fire punk energy; these singles were later collected on Singles Going Steady, an acclaimed compilation album music journalist and critic Ned Raggett described as a "punk masterpiece".
