The Stranglers siempre supieron, unas veces más afortunadas que otras, especialmente en su primera y fenomenal etapa, pero casi siempre con interés, acomodarse a las tendencias sonoras del momento. Así, con influencias de la Velvet Underground, Television, The Kinks, Zappa, The Rolling Stones, The Doors o, en general, el garage-rock/proto-punk 60’s, pasaron con facilidad del pub rock al punk, la new wave o al pop de sintetizadores, en una larga carrera principiada a mediados de los años 70.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
