Stranger To Stranger's music was alternative in its flavor, borrowing from the early Cure
and Echo and the Bunneymen. They played clubs and venues from Boston to Virginia, but experienced their
greatest success at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. The title song from 1985's The Child in Me
experienced particularly heavy airplay on college and commercial stations in that area. Subsequently,
record sales in the area were very good and the shows at the 9:30 Club drew a good audience.
Recently, an amalgam of The Darkest Dreams and Shatter the Night was produced
as a CD by drummer Eric Carlson. That was the impetus for creating this page... I hadn't listened to the
material in a very long time. I felt compelled to put up this page so some of our friends could get
their hands on some vintage STS in MP3 format. We hope to come up with a good copy of The Child in Me
in the not-too-distant future.
