Sounds Like The Stranglers

Post by Black Leather Jacket »

With a bit of Marilyn Manson thrown in for good measure. Single of the year so far for me and I never really liked The Strokes either.

Anyone know who sang the tune that the programme The Misfits used? That was a cracking noise, and with a bass line that v much reminded me of JJ.
Think I'll go for a stroll in the trees.

The Misfits theme. I always thought it sounded like PIL. Great tune though and a good series for the first couple.

Especially at around the 2:15 mark and onwards and 3:10 when the guitar comes back in....

Not sure if you guys are into foreign bands but this song has so many Stranglers elements it's unbelievable. Notice that bass sound, the rapid-fire drumming, the keyboard sounds, the weird song structure, the 4 piece set up. I reckon this song would fit nicely in Suite XVI just after Summat Owtanowt.

"DANCING IN THE GARDEN OF EVIL" - KING HAMMOND (2011)

There's something about the vocals that's familiar here. Especially from about 0.48...
