The Stranglers are an English rock music group, formed in 1974 Guildford, Surrey.
Scoring a string of UK top ten hits, including Golden Brown, No More Heroes and Peaches, the Stranglers originally built a following as part of – but never quite fit in with – the mid-'70s pub rock scene. Their aggressive, no-compromise attitude made them one of the instigators of the developing UK punk rock scene, but their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre with the group exploring a variety of musical styles including punk rock, gothic rock, and new wave through to the 'pop' of some of their '80s output.
