English rock band (New Wave, Punk, Rock), formed as the Guildford Stranglers on 11 September 1974 in Guildford, Surrey, UK.
The Stranglers' early sound was driven by J.J. Burnel's melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Burnel and Hugh Cornwell.
H. Cornwell left in 1990 to pursue a solo career, original Drummer Jet Black (Brian Duffy) retired in 2018.
Dave Greenfield died 3 May 2020 of Covid 19. Toby Hounsham, formally of Rialto, was named as the new keyboard player in 2021
