Strangled Identity, Status, Structure and The Stranglers by Phil Knight (English

Description: Strangled Identity, Status, Structure and The Stranglers by Phil Knight "If the Sex Pistols and The Clash represented punks sacred, then The Stranglers were its profane. Strangled sets out to explain why this most taboo of bands have for so long been the subject of a collective cultural Omerta. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Stranglers occupy a paradoxical position within the history of popular music. Although major artists within the punk and new-wave movements, their contribution to those genres has been effectively quarantined by subsequent critical and historical analyses. They are somehow "outside" the realm of what responsible accounts of the period consider to be worthy of chronicling. Why is this so? Certainly The Stranglers seedy and intimidating demeanor, and well-deserved reputation for misogyny and violence, offer a superficial explanation for their cultural excommunication. However, this landmark work suggests that the unsettling aura that permeated the group and their music had much more profound origins; ones that continue to have disturbing implications even today. The Stranglers, it argues, continue to be marginalised because, whether by accident or design, they brought to the fore the underlying issues of identity, status and structure that must by necessity be hidden from societys conscious awareness. For this, they would not be forgiven.
