Before he began recording as STRFKR, Josh Hodges was asked by a friend to quit his job and record a covers album. From that request came Sexton Blake Plays The Hits.

With covers ranging from Elton John to LL Cool J, ELO to Milli Vanilli, the album is a perfect snapshot in time showing how Hodges would go on to approach his own songs under the STRFKR moniker.  Josh Hodges' pre-STRFKR album now on vinyl for the first time!

Limited edition of 1000 on 180-gram clear gold vinyl.

INSTANT MP3 album download at checkout.

Features unique covers of Bruce Springsteen, Milli Vanilli, Elton John, LL Cool J, Michael Jackson, and many more.
