The Stranglers exploded onto the music scene in 1977 with their
iconic debut album Rattus Norvegicus. Lazily classed as a punk band
because of their notorious behaviour and outrageous lyrics, the
truth was somewhat different. Many books have been written about
the behaviour of the band but this book focuses in-depth on the
music and lyrics of every song during the years of the original
line-up and destroys the myth of mindless musical provocateurs to
reveal their brilliance and dark beauty by shining a forensic light
on these musical visionaries. For fans of the band, whether
musically experienced or not, it is a must-read. And for fans in
general of rock music in the 70s and 80s, it will highlight what
makes their music stand out as special and result in them dusting
down their vinyl copies of the band's records to re-acquaint
themselves with their music in a new light.
