STRANGE FLAVOUR

Guitar driven psychedelic hard-rock, heavy blues and proto-metal by this power-trio from Southampton.

This is their sought-after album from 1975.

Agnes Strange was a bluesy hard-rock trio active during the mid-1970s. The band consisted of John Westwood on guitar and vocals, Alan Green on bass and vocals, and Dave Rodwell on drums/vocals. ​

In 1975, they released their sole album, ‘Strange Flavour’, on the small BirdsNest label, linked to a chain of pubs / brewing firm. The album showcased their blend of hard-rock, blues and experimental / psychedelic influences, drawing comparisons to bands like Status Quo, Budgie, and Hawkwind. Despite their energetic style and musical talent, the album did not achieve significant commercial success.​ It’s clear that some other labels like Vertigo or Harvest would have been a better home for them.
