Thirty years ago, The Stranglers oozed forth from the darkest recesses of trash culture to create a mutant strain of punk and rockabilly that would establish the band as genuine cult icons. Led by long- time mainstays Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorcshach, Stranglers combined the primal rhythms of early rock n’roll, garage rock, surf pop and psychedelia with a kitsch, B-movie horror aesthetic and set off to explore the final frontiers of sex, drugs and rock’n’ roll. The Stranglers charts this voyage presenting an unique examination of their strange and terrible journey. –This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
