Strangers in Paradise

Strangers in Paradise

Strangers in Paradise is a group with two distinct line-ups described under the same name. One version forms in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, in 2012 and releases its first EP, The Story, less than a month after forming. That group features Steve Mosby on vocals and guitar, Andrew Mosby on backing vocals and bass guitar, and Dave Williams on backing vocals and drums. It is described as a guitar-led act aiming to avoid generic love songs.

Another Strangers in Paradise is an Australian rock/pop group based in Melbourne. This version focuses on original songwriting and a live sound built around a strong rhythm section. It plays regularly in Melbourne venues and builds an international online following, with material presented as emotionally direct and wide-ranging in influence.

The name is associated with soul, alternative rock and indie rock, and with activity in both the UK and Australia.
