The release of “Giants”, the eagerly awaited new studio album by THE STRANGLERS, is announced for March 9th, 2012. The record coincides with an extensive European tour, kicking off March 1st in the UK, ending April 27th in Belgium. The Stranglers are Jet Black (drums), JJ Burnel (bass and lead vocals), Dave Greenfield (keyboards) and Baz Warne (guitar and lead vocals). Giants is featuring JJ Burnel and Baz Warne on shared vocal duties, boasting the trademark STRANGERLS’ bass lines and keyboard runs as well as a tango (!) plus the first instrumental the band has recorded in over twenty years.

During their career the Stranglers have garnered a total of 24 “Top 40” singles in four decades as well as eighteen “Top 40” albums.
