    Download: Strangers – London Lights

    strangersStrangers are a band who have constantly impressed me over past while and they have been extremely cleverly in raising their profile by releasing singles for Free Download for a limited time. The latest is London Lights, which I’ve already played on The London Ear (how could I not?). London Lights is available for ONE week before a new song ‘Divine’ appears online on December 1st.

    Here’s ‘London Lights’ in full on Soundcloud, if you can’t see it click here
