“If rock & roll was meant to be pleasant, it would never have changed the world after all. The fact that much of the Stranglers’ message was actually hysterically funny – as they themselves intended it to be – only adds to their modern appeal”

~Dave Thompson, All Music Guide

It has been five years since The Stranglers last studio album and 13 years since they were signed with a major label but, at last, the long-awaited and much-anticipated ‘Norfolk Coast’ is scheduled for release on 4th October Universal in Canada after receiving 2 Top 40 single hits and rave reviews in the UK and Europe citing this as their best album since 1979.

A positive side effect of this intensive period has been the musical consolidation of the band - quite simply they have never sounded better. ‘Norfolk Coast’ typifies all the distinctive signatures of a classic Stranglers album and sets the mood for travel through hi-speed rock, driving rhythms, anthemic melodies and occasional, off-the-wall quirkiness. Trademark Stranglers qualities, including JJ Burnel’s rumbling bass and Dave Greenfield’s distinctive keyboard sounds, are captured on record as never before.

Throughout the 70’s, The Stranglers’ grip on the British chart was unbreakable. With 32 Top 40 hits including “Peaches”, “Something Better Change”, ‘No More Heroes’ this then continues through the eighties with chart topper ‘Golden Brown’ and ‘Always the Sun’. Unlike many of their contemporaries of the 1970's, The Stranglers were never going to be a 'flash-in-the-pan' rock act. Their compounded musical talents and enthusiasm infused with large dose of charisma and dark notoriety would never have allowed that to happen and now with top 40 hits spanning over 4 decades the Strangers are here one more.

The Stranglers completed a sell-out 18-date Arena Tour of the UK, and have continued their success throughout the UK Europe for the whole of the spring and summer, they return to Canada straight from Australia to perform a short showcase of dates before a Canadian Tour is planned for the Winter.

Seeing this band in a venue the size of the Mod Club is going to be a rare treat. Don’t miss your chance to get up close and personal with the legendary Stranglers!
