suddenly appeared two young girls in polka-dot dresses, flaming red lipstick,
and hair ribbons. Looking like the brides of Robert Smith, Strawberry
Switchblade made a brief splash on the U.K. charts and then abruptly vanished in
the mid '80s, leaving their fans with a handful of collectible singles and one

countless experimental and industrial releases by Psychic TV, Coil, Current 93

recording with her daughter Jessie and Craig Hood in a new band called The
Shapists in March 2013.
