Strange Kicks is the third studio album by English post-punk band Alternative TV, released in 1981 by I.R.S. Records. The album showed a shift towards a more new wave style, whilst keeping with the band's non-commercial ethos.
Strange Kicks was recorded at Matrix Recording Studios in London, England in April 1981.
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."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)".
All tracks written by Alternative TV and Richard Mazda.
