Strawberry Story - Ashlands Road

When I first heard this band I thought they were Strawberry Switchblade, the 1980s Scottish duo of the delightful "Since Yesterday". They aren't, but the similarity is in more than name: both bands made sweet, sugary pop with angelic (and very very young-sounding) female vocals.

Strawberry Story came from somewhere in the north of England and put out a few singles, mostly in the early '90s. They got back together a couple years ago and released some new material on Cloudberry but I understand they've since split again.

This song appeared on the 1991 compilation The Waaaaah! CD which, if you don't have, you really should.
