''The Stingrays'' are a new wave/rockabilly band, which originally formed in 1977 in Bristol, England, and is still gigging today. (There are at least three notable bands that have called themselves The Stingrays, Sting Rays or a permutation of the name). They have experienced various line up changes over the years, but have included: Russ Mainwaring (who is still a member), Bill Stair (Art Objects, Various Artists, Blue Aeroplanes), Chris Bostock, and Sean McLuskey (Subway Sect, JoBoxers, If?). Their first single, "Countdown", was released on local label Fried Egg Records in 1980. They also contributed the track, "Sound", to the seminal Heartbeat Records compilation album, ''Avon Calling''.〔 George Gimarc Punk Diary: The Ultimate Trainspotter's Guide to Underground Rock, 1970-1982 AVON CALLING is the title of a new collection of new bands from Bristol, in the county of Avon.

According to Steve Bush of ''Essential Bop'', they were “a bit like Bristol's equivalent of The Ramones. A rockin' unit with an advanced sense of irony.”〔(Review of The Stingrays by Steve Bush of Essential Bop ) ”Bristol Archive Records”〕 A retrospective CD ''Back across the Rubicon'' was self released on YTY in 2009.〔(Details of Back across the Rubicon ) ”TheStingrays.org”〕 ==Band line-ups== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Stingrays (Bristol band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
