Strangeways

British Rock Band

Strangeways is a rock band that originated from Scotland and gained prominence during the 1980s. The band is known for its melodic rock/AOR (album-oriented rock) sound, which was particularly popular during that era. Strangeways' lineup has included lead vocalist Terry Brock, guitarist Ian J. Stewart, bassist David Stewart, and drummer Jim Drummond. They achieved notable success with their second album "Native Sons" and the follow-up "Walk in the Fire," which featured more polished production and anthemic songwriting that resonated with fans of the genre. Despite not achieving widespread mainstream success, Strangeways has maintained a dedicated fan base and is respected within the melodic rock community for their contributions to the genre. Over the years, they have experienced several lineup changes and periods of inactivity but have continued to be recognized for their musicianship and the quality of their early work, particularly during their most commercially successful period in the late 1980s.
