Re: New Damned Album 2023
I agree, that's one of the big highlights for me too.theraven1979 wrote: ↑29 Dec 2023, 09:31 "Western Promise" was the one that jumped out at me. Nice vocal from Mr Vanian

Re: Summer gigs
Oh wow, that's a blast from the past. Seen them at Guilfest 3 times I think, and the 2002 set was my first Stranglers gig.
Could be tempted by this to relive my yoof.
Edit: no, it was four! 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006.

Re: Strangler in the light
The story goes that Dave and Jet thought the band still had more to do and convinced JJ to continue. JJ's book is quite positive regarding the About Time album. No Mercy is quite positive about In the Night, and possibly About Time as well (it's been a while since I read it). The copies of Strangled...

Re: Chainlink (Hardcore Punk)
Thanks for listening, the frontman's whole thing is "keep up the energy!" so he'll be happy with that :)

Re: Chainlink (Hardcore Punk)
Here's the new single "The Moderator": https://open.spotify.com/track/2HIto2P4 ... 9c1dd846c7
As I say, the music was written by me so it might be a bit more Stranglersy, but the lyrics weren't.

Re: Strangler in the light
I thought the comments on Paul were fairly well balanced but I thought the phrase "he wasn't a Strangler" wasn't needed - he literally was for over 15 years... poor old John Ellis though! I would think he meant he was nothing like an "Original" Strangler he's "stage "a...

Re: Strangler in the light
Just finished this. Thought it was really good overall, some very interesting insights into the band and also just about the world in general. A nice companion piece to Hugh's one, although I think I preferred JJ's. I agree with whoever it was above that said there were things that could have been f...

Re: Chainlink (Hardcore Punk)
Pre-orders for our debut album are now go: https://chainlinkuk.bandcamp.com/album/semi-autocratic Pink LP edition is available... It's better than the EP... I wrote the music to 3 or 4 of them so they have a bit of a Stranglers bass edge to them. One of those is the next single, "The Moderator...

Re: Strangler in the light
I hardly think the size of venues Hugh has been playing recently could be compared to a toilet! Anyway, you're missing the point even if that's the case as JJ prefixed his statement with "Hugh must be bitter....." Jim "Toilet" is a well-known euphemism for "small music venu...
