Something really unexpected began on this day in 2017. Indie label Night School Records released Strawberry Switchblade's 1982 4-Piece Demo, initially just 1000 7" EPs, but Trees & Flowers went viral on TikTok & it's now by far the band's most streamed track - on Spotify it's had nearly 5 times as many streams as the next most popular, Since Yesterday 🧵
