Biografia:

A banda de rock pesado e bluseira Agnes Strange, natural de Southampton, Hampshire, Inglaterra, se formou em meados dos anos 70 e rapidamente assinou com a Birds Nest Records, vinculada à Pye Records.

Composto por Alan Green (baixo), Dave Rodwell (bateria) e John Westwood (guitarra e vocais), o trio lançou "Strange Flavour" em 1975, contendo uma seleção perfunctória, mas habilmente executada, de canções roqueiras originais, que não conseguiram, porém, cair no gosto do público. O grupo separou-se pouco tempo depois, mas seus integrantes permaneceram ativos no circuito das casas noturnas de Hampshire (AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
