¦¦² The eternal tragedy of rock history is just how little mention The Stranglers get in any ²¦¦

¦¦² tome that talks about the punk and rock music which crashed out of the United Kingdom in the ²¦¦

¦¦² late 1970s. Bands like the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Buzzcocks always get ample ²¦¦

¦¦² examination and there's no arguing the validity of those bands' contributions but (with the ²¦¦

¦¦² exception of The Clash maybe), in listening to them, it's easy to conclude that a lot of ²¦¦

¦¦² music would not sound the way it does now were it not for the gritty, grimy and sardonic ²¦¦

¦¦² artistry that The Stranglers left (and continue to leave - they're the only band of those ²¦¦

¦¦² aforementioned still working in any capacity other than performing greatest hits sets in Las ²¦¦

¦¦² Vegas) in their wake. The list of bands that owe a debt to The Stranglers is enormous and ²¦¦

¦¦² the breath of styles that the band influenced is equally so; it's possible to trace the ²¦¦

¦¦² fingerprints of drummer Brian Duffy, singer-guitarist Hugh Cornwell, bassist Jean-Jacques ²¦¦

¦¦² Burnel and keyboardist Dave Greenfield as well as the strains of albums like Rattus ²¦¦

¦¦² Norvegicus, No More Heroes, Black And White and The Raven into the music of current new rock ²¦¦

¦¦² toasts including Modest Mouse, The Arcade Fire and Franz Ferdinand as well as the far more ²¦¦

¦¦² poppy spectra that Flight Of The Concords inhabit. In comparison to The Clash (who get ²¦¦

¦¦² name-dropped by every punk band in creation) and the Sex Pistols (who everyone knows of ²¦¦

¦¦² course, but no one models their music after), there is simply no comparison to make; The ²¦¦

¦¦² Stranglers are one of the brilliant but crazy uncles locked under the floor boards of punk, ²¦¦

¦¦² modern rock, and mainstream indie, and have remained in the cellar for the last thirty-five ²¦¦

¦¦² years. ²¦¦

¦¦² ²¦¦

¦¦² How does a band that has remained such a well-kept secret exert such a reach? The answer to ²¦¦

¦¦² that question resides in the forty-nine cuts that populate The UA Singles 1977 – 1982. ²¦¦

¦¦² ²¦¦

¦¦² In the beginning, The Stranglers were at least a marginally genre-adhering punk band as, ²¦¦

¦¦² with ham-fisted guitars and a four-on-the-floor rhythm section, they beefed up and ²¦¦

¦¦² snottified rock as The Buzzcocks and the Pistols had but, even in the early going (check ²¦¦

¦¦² "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)") more adventurous dynamics, stronger musicianship and a wider ²¦¦

¦¦² array of sounds (keyboards, notably) were factoring in, giving Rattus Norvegicus a more ²¦¦

¦¦² unhinged and experimental bent. At the time, that larger sonic palette got The Stranglers ²¦¦

¦¦² lumped in with the short-lived 'pub rock' scene, but that never sat right; the other members ²¦¦

¦¦² of that club (bands included UK Subs, Kilburn and The High Roads, Eddie and The Hot Rods, ²¦¦

¦¦² The 101'ers - which featured a pre-Clash Joe Strummer - and, later, The Pogues) were simply ²¦¦

¦¦² mining the same old motifs and offering them up with a new, working-class whitewash. The ²¦¦

¦¦² Stranglers didn't wear it well and the tag didn't stick long though and, even by No More ²¦¦

¦¦² Heroes (released the same year as Rattus Norvegicus), a cursory listen to songs like ²¦¦

¦¦² "Something Better Change", "No More Heroes" and "Peasant In The Big Shitty" all reveal that ²¦¦

¦¦² the game was changing - and quickly. ²¦¦

¦¦² ²¦¦

¦¦² The further they went, the bolder and more experimental they became too. While there would ²¦¦

¦¦² always be a nagging pop bent to The Stranglers' early recordings, it was also always the ²¦¦

¦¦² gateway to a more surreal centre. Singer Hugh Cornwell would forever be just a little too ²¦¦

¦¦² rough around the edges for straight-laced pop because his throaty growl was just a little ²¦¦

¦¦² too dramatic and dismissive sounding for audiences that were content to smile in perpetuity ²¦¦

¦¦² and the propulsion in songs like "Nuclear Dawn", "Thrown Away" and "Just Like Nothing On ²¦¦

¦¦² Earth" was supplied by the bass; an event totally uncommon pre-Minutemen unless you were on ²¦¦

¦¦² a dance floor. Such a twist was difficult for mainstream audiences to grasp then, but it's ²¦¦

¦¦² totally commonplace now. ²¦¦

¦¦² ²¦¦

¦¦² The UA Singles 1977 - 1982 issues all of those moments that, in a perfect world, should have ²¦¦

¦¦² received more attention than they did but, really, now very well might be an even better ²¦¦

¦¦² time for them. Given the climate in modern rock right now, uninitiated listeners will ²¦¦

¦¦² appreciate The Stranglers as the great band they both were and remain, but reissuing these ²¦¦

¦¦² songs now will also point to the impact they had. Better late than never, here's hoping that ²¦¦

¦¦² The Stranglers finally get their due. ²¦¦
