Requested by Noinim.
Another cult postpunk band from Limburg, Belgium. Started at the late 70's and inspired by punk. Struggler released two 7"s by themselves in 1980: the very hard to find 'Wanted' and 'Night Fever' 7"s.
In 1982 the band released the 'It Was A Very Long Conversation But At The End We Didn't Shake Hands' LP (will be posted later).
The 'Recrudesce' 12" is the band's final release. Both records released on Not So Brave of which the 1st release is the 'La Vache Qui Rit' 7" of Zounds. Other releases on this label are a Null & Void 7" and some records by Steve Lake.
The high-pitched vocals of Danny could annoy some of you.

THANKS!!! So excited to see this! I came across the song "That's Your Dream" some months back and ever since I've beed dying to hear more, especially the full-length, but this will do me happy for now. Do you know if any of the members went on to other projects?
ReplyDeleteHey Noinim, I checked the Struggler discography and I couldn't find a song with the title 'That's Your Dream'. Very weird! Lp still needs to be ripped. Expect it soon.
ReplyDeleteIt may have been a comp exclusive. I wish I could remember which blog I found the damn thing on. though, I did manage to locate mention of the song here in Dutch... http://houbi.com/belpop/telexn/19990502.htm
ReplyDeleteI could upload the song and post the link here if you like.

ReplyDeleteHi Noinim, thanks for the links. That song you mentioned is from a recent mini CD when they reformed. Haven't heard it yet.
ReplyDeleteHow's the turntable situation?
a new release 20 years later, isn't it amazing?! really, you'd never know that the song i heard was a new song. it's THAT good.
ReplyDeleteturntable... yes, well, it's pricey and i'm being inexcusably picky!! i'm planning a complete overhaul on my entire sound system actually. wish me luck!
any chance of a re-up of this?
