Stranglers - Always the Sun

Originally, back in '74 they were called "The Guilford Stranglers" but later they got tired of making it too long to announce themselves to the public and settled for being simply the Strangolatori.

They had a dark sound, called "pub" rock (maybe because of the beers? Who knows!).

Later they were also associated with other genres, like "new wave" or "goth rock," although they preferred to define themselves as more "punk rock" than anything else, especially since they opened for the "Ramones" in '76 during their first tour in the UK, oh nothing...
