Strawberry Switchblade

Strawberry Switchblade

Band, 1981-1986 GB, Glasgow
Electronic
A.k.a. Rose McDowall & Jill Bryson

From the ominous shadows of Goth 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 LP of deceptively sweet-sounding dance pop. Rose McDowall would later appear on countless experimental and industrial releases by Psychic TV, Coil, Current 93 and Death in June, among others, while Jill Bryson returned to songwriting and recording with her daughter Jessie and Craig Hood in a new band called The Shapists in March 2013.
