Stroszek was a post-punk, new wave, and electronic ensemble from Scotland, originally formed in Aberdeen before relocating to Glasgow. The group consisted of Richey James Roberto (vocals, synthesizer), Leslie Wilcox (guitar, synthesizer, flute, programming), and Douglas Danielio (bass, synthesizer, violin).
Their discography comprises three EPs alongside a live single: the Demo EP released in 2005, the self-produced Demonstration EP from 2007, the Manufacturing Consent EP issued in 2008 under Fire Exit Records, and the live recording Live in Stereo from 2008 through Threads of Sound. Their music was recognized for merging stylistic elements reminiscent of The Clash and Joy Division into a unique artistic soundscape. Critical reception emphasized their mid-1980s influence and compelling lyrics, with SIC Magazine commending Danielio’s bass performances and Wilcox’s guitar contributions as central to their sonic character.
The band ceased activities in 2014.
