This way: Skin Deep
This is one of those bands kicking around before punk fully formed and so they were up and running by the time bar bands sounding slightly punk were being signed. Ive always liked their great song writing. And maybe they don't really fit in. They have a member with a beard, so, well, hmmmmmmmm.
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", "Always the Sun" and "Skin Deep" and the 2004 Top 40 hit "Big Thing Coming".
