They’re honestly so underrated and deserve more recognition 💕 they really inspire my style and I love them so much 🥺🤍 I wish more people knew who they were and loved them as much as I do but great vid!
honestly.
True. KPop and JPop seem influenced somehow by them
Stop saying “underrated “ and they were just a one hit wonder that’s all.
in 2004 when Rose performed in San Francisco at the DNA lounge i was telling her how much she influenced the gothic Lolita look , at the time i was not sure if she was fully aware how much of an influence she has been. Also at this live show that you can find a recording of at the internet archive, many in the audience were crying tears of joy from just being there with her singing many of he beloved songs.
The post-punk/goth/dream music scene is among one of my favorites. Strawberry Switchblade were one of the greatest one-off music duos ever!! 🖤🖤
Anyone who thought Lady Gaga was outrageous didn’t grow up in the 80’s .Love my era 🙂
Lady Gaga is shit boring compared to the "Strawbs"!!
I grew up in the 80s but discovered their music recently. I think they were a big influence to Japanese visual Kei bands like Lareine. Good video!
I absolutely adored this band as a thirteen year old, I bought everything including imports and I was in their fan club. I don't think I'd have survived my teen years without the SS album.
Great band name and seriously a lovely group. Love Strawberry Switchblade.
It just backs up your point about their impact but all throughout the video despite how im not the most knowledgeable abt music history especially that specific scene and how i never heard of this band or their members before there was this sense of deja vu with their outfits; makeup and even music (i swear i heard deep water before or at least the strings in it) so yeah they were truly a band that left a mark here
I literally dress like them. Ribbons, flowers, eyeliner, and all. My brother can't even watch their videos now BC he thinks I look too much like Rose!🤣
Just discovered them with trees and flowers and became instantly fascinated. I haven't been touched by a song this much for a long time! thanks to these two legends❤
ah thank you for this! been looking for a vid on strawberry switchblade :)
Movie producer Joe Augustyn credits them with inspiring the costume Linnea Quigley wore in Night of the Demons. He used a Bauhaus tune in the movie but he loved this band.
If I remember right, my first exposure to Strawberry Switchblade was by watching "Goodnight LA",
a local music video programme on KABC channel 7, in the 1980s.
I was immediately impressed and sought and bought their LP.
I wanna start a strawberry switchblade cover band 🥺❤️
My favourite song from them is Ecstasy besides not being able to be sad while listening to it it introduced me to the expression "Apple of my eye" and I think that's such a sweet expression
Cool videos and descriptions 💕
Such an awesome band ❤️ great video!
This is such a great video, damn! They truly deserve a video like this showing them support and giving them this kind of attention and understanding!
so informative, i love this band
Cool video thank you, just started listening to them now from Switchblade Symphony
if you look around on youtube there is a clip of Jill and Rose shopping in London back in 1985.
Great video
Heard Since Yesterday in the movie This Is England years ago, love them ❤
I actually discovered Strawberry Switchblade fairly late, knowing Rose's work mainly from the early neofolk-scene, especially with Death in June, Current 93 and her own project Sorrow
"Since Yesterday" was the first single I ever bought
The Switedblades left us good material. I liked their songs specially the demo's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
love this video🫶🏼 but no one says this style is actually Sevillian😭 (not even them, but it's obvious)
What’s the font in the thumbnail called ?
This video is great, I happened to stumble across one of their songs and was hooked. It's such a shame the band was short lived.
Shakespears Sister took notes
Interesting that a lot of UA-cam videos highlighting stuff and classing it as ‘you never saw’…. Nope, you just weren’t born at the right time to live in the best decade ever - the 1980’s…. You missed out…. But it’s nice to see you working to bring it to the attention of youngsters.
But why only one album? What happened?
Jill and rose had a falling out and stopped being friends before they could finish the second album
@@chicken_clownnuggets569 for real? So soon...
First seen them in Northern Alaska when they turned up as Gothic Eskimos, we had a whale of a time.
TFW no Rose McDowell gf
They weren’t overlooked. They were very famous, they were just a one hit wonder. That’s all.
I remember a couple more songs, because I bought the album after "Since Yesterday", that song really was a very big success, maybe they didn't know how to carry it.
the og harajuku fashion
one of my favorite bands
