Gig Review : The Stranglers / Ruts DC – Cambridge Corn Exchange

"Whilst this was a delicate moment of hush after the fury, Burnel showing just what a fine, classically trained, acoustic guitarist he is, it was the emotionally shattering and ultimately celebratory ‘And If You Should See Dave…’ that was the pinnacle of the evening."

Review: The Stranglers @ O2 Academy Bristol

"The show also coincided with Jean-Jacque Burnel's 70th birthday. The incredible bassist however moved with the energy and plays with the fresh precision of an artist just starting out, floating around his manic bass lines effortlessly."

"Every single time we’ve played here it’s sold out in a heartbeat…and how they can get 2000 people in is beyond me. I hope our paths cross again Bristol O2…but don’t hold your breath."

"What had gone on before proved something else: there are heroes. Just ask the people who have loved – and lived – these songs for 40 odd years and it doesn’t matter whether they are on stage or off, the reaction is the same."

Gig Review: The Stranglers – Lincoln Engine Shed 25/1/22

"This is the first time a Stranglers debutant has played alongside just one original member and there’s pressure on JJ Burnel, particularly, to deliver. Under the Stranglers’ umbrella since 1974, he was the youngster in the band who’s now its elder statesman."

"Un bel concerto in sintesi, la cui unica pecca è forse la sbrigatività della band nell’eseguire tutti i brani uno in fila all’altro quasi senza soluzione di continuità."

"Une chose est sûre, les Stranglers de 2019 n’ont plus grand chose à voir avec le groupe de 1977 car ils ont acquis une maîtrise incroyable de leur art avec le temps et sont devenus une sorte d’icône des années 70/80 plus proches du Classic Rock que du Punk Rock et qu’on revoit avec beaucoup de plaisir et de nostalgie…"
