"Peaches" - Stranglers

by Max on Sat 16 Aug 2008 12:57 PM PDT | Permanent Link

The English-borne Stranglers have been around for over 30 years and have undergone some pretty major style shifts. They started out as essentially a punk band, and gradually transformed into more of a synth pop band over time.

"Peaches" comes from their 1977 studio debut Rattus Norvigicus, so it's surely one of their more raw-sounding tracks. If you listen to the Fred channel on XM, you may view the Stranglers as more of a New Order clone, so hopefully posting this song will dispel that myth (although, to be fair, Fred has played this song as well).

BTW, he's saying "clitares", which is a French swimsuit. Perv.

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.
