Strange Kicks is the third studio album by English post-punk band Alternative TV, released in 1981 by I.R.S.
The album showed a shift towards a more new wave style, whilst keeping with the band's non-commercial ethos.
[3] Dean McFarlane of AllMusic wrote the album "fall[s] a little flat amidst the confusion and veer[s] closer to the new wave sound than most punks would dare to venture.
"[1] Trouser Press called the album "a different proposition altogether", calling it a "snappy romp through an assortment of styles (ska, pop-punk, even electro-dance)".
[2] All tracks are written by Alternative TV and Richard Mazda
