Hugh Cornwell is one of the UK’s finest songwriting talents and accomplished live performers. The original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in the British punk rock band The Stranglers, he’s enjoyed massive UK and European success with 10 hit albums and 21 Top Forty singles, with classic songs including “Peaches”, “No More Heroes”, “Golden Brown”, “Always the Sun”, “Grip”, “Nice N Sleazy”, “Duchess” and “No Mercy”.

Cornwell’s forthcoming new album “Totem and Taboo” will be released in August. Recorded at Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago, it was engineered and mixed by Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies).
