Radio - June 2nd, 2013



The Stranglers have just released their 17th album to date and are approaching their fortieth year as a band. The Stranglers were one of my first introductions into punk. The song “I feel like a wog” is the perfect pogo beat. The song “Down in the Sewer” is one of the best metaphors for an underground subculture. The first album is the taxonomic name for a rat which became the official punk mascot and pet. The band pissed off everyone and were true punk pioneers whether they agree with the label or not. They still shaped punk in ways that still define the genre today. Here is a conversation with Jean-Jacques Burnell and Baz Warne from Friday May 31st the day of the gig at the Danforth Music Hall. Or you can download the entire show mixed with old, new and rare material.
