C'mon these guys are pretty good. They are a 'tribute band'. They are not the stranglers. The style will be slightly different. Why do people have to nit-pick at everything. I guess it makes them feel smart...
I am a long time STRANGS man and when you say the Keyboard bit wasn't just right and I wouldn't say your totally wrong BUT I've discussed this many times with MICK-the keys man (I DO KNOW HIM!) when he played with Orange Alert and 4Moreheroes and responded to invited comment's -I did tell MICK thay this part was very difficult and that even DAVE (of greenfield fame ) hadn't alwaya got it spot on.--SO -not everybody is perfect -- However 1 Thing I do know is that this outfit are SHIT__HOT!!!!
Saw these lads at Tottington's Hark to Towler pub recently.
I must say, I never really fancied the idea of The Stranglers in a diluted 'tribute' form. However, after watching the genuine MIB nearly fifty times live, in ALL their various line-ups, these boys are as authentic as you can possibly get. With the exception of Toiler... which was a little 'loose' the rest of the set was tight and enjoyable to listen to. Try some more up to date stuff ltoo lads.

No he's not. That's a 7/4 beat for you...
I think they do a good job in getting the "sound" right.
They sound more Old Skool Meninblack than the Meninblack themselves. A very good tribute to a wonderful & underrated original band
