Strangeways

Formed in Wakefield in the mid 70's, Strangeways enjoyed great success in their time, releasing two classic and now ultra-collectable singles and seeing magazines such as Sounds raving about them. The band’s powerful live performances were the stuff of legend up and down the country and Power-Pop fans everywhere loved the band. After a while though it all broke down and the band decided to call it a day after only a couple of years. They had a whole load of unreleased tracks and demos, including a rare demo track that was produced by Tommy Ramone and cover versions of The Trogg’s "Wild Thing" (re-titled "Chose Sauvage" on a french version) and The Archies' "Sugar Sugar", released in LP in 2001 as 'Powerpop'.
