Yet, while their contemporaries such as the Sex Pistols and the Clash have had their comparatively short careers turned into biographies, the Stranglers' controversial career has remained undocumented. Until now.NO MERCY traces the band's career from their beginnings on the mid-70s' pub rock circuit, to the success of their breakthrough album Rattus Norvegicus in 1977, through the experimental Raven and Meninblack albums, to their early 80s' commercial high point with the beautiful hymn to heroin 'Golden Brown'.
