THE PUNK ONE

The Stranglers Rattus Norvegicus

A hash-burnt transplant of Doors psychedelic melodrama into the life of a suburban English band grinding on the ambiguous borderline twixt pub rock and punk’s first flowering, few records evoke time and place so convincingly as this debut. Made in six days, it reveals a band with the songwriting chops – Hanging Around; Peaches; Grip – to thrust their low-life thrills down the nation’s throat.
