'''The Stranglers''' were a British rock group, active between 1974 and 1990, consisting of Hugh Cornwell (guitar), Jean-Jacques Burnel (bass), Dave Greenfield (keyboards) and Jet Black (drums). Despite being part of the punk era, they had a more humorous, experimental side, gradually moving to a more poppy sound. They scored hits with ''Peaches'' (1977) and ''No More Heroes'' (1977), but their biggest song on the charts is actually a very atypical number: ''Golden Brown'' (1982). <br />

<br />
In 1978, Hugh Cornwell, member of The Stranglers, collaborated with [[Devo]] and with Robert Williams (a former [[Captain Beefheart]] and his [[Magic Band]] drummer), on the album ''Nosferatu''. Cornwell also met Beefheart, of whom he was a huge fan, who supported the project. <ref>https://www.hughcornwell.com/hugh-talks-all-things-nosferatu/</ref><br />
<br />
Hugh Cornwell is a huge fan of Frank Zappa and named him a huge influence on The Stranglers, alongside [[Howlin' Wolf]], [[The Doors]], [[Love (The Band)]] and [[Captain Beefheart]]. <ref>https://norfolkrocks.uk/interview-hugh-cornwell/</ref> Interviewed by Mikojan Bezbradica for NIN, (15 April 2026), he said:''""Frank Zappa was a genius. I am very familiar with what he did. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet him. He created many extraordinary albums and was a highly influential figure in rock music,"'' On 26 April 2026, Cornwell also performed at the festival ''Zappa Baza'' (named after Frank Zappa) in Belgrade, Serbia. <ref>https://www.nin.rs/english/news/110195/hugh-cornwell-for-nin-nothing-surprises-me-anymore-anything-is-possible</ref><br />
