The Stranglers occupy a paradoxical position within the history of
popular music. Although major artists within the punk and new-wave
movements, their contribution to those genres has been effectively
quarantined by subsequent critical and historical analyses. They
are somehow "outside" the realm of what responsible accounts of the
period consider to be worthy of chronicling. Why is this so?
Certainly The Stranglers' seedy and intimidating demeanor, and
well-deserved reputation for misogyny and violence, offer a
superficial explanation for their cultural excommunication.
However, this landmark work suggests that the unsettling aura that
permeated the group and their music had much more profound origins;
ones that continue to have disturbing implications even today. The
Stranglers, it argues, continue to be marginalised because, whether
by accident or design, they brought to the fore the underlying
issues of identity, status and structure that must by necessity be
hidden from society's conscious awareness. For this, they would not
be forgiven.
