Stratford Mercenaries were an English punk rock band that was formed in late 1995 by Gary "Gazzer" Buckley from the punk band Dirt and Ed "Eddafed" Addley from the punk band Suicidal Supermarket Trolleys. The band was joined by Steve Ignorant from the punk rock band Crass and Phil Barker from the punk rock band the Buzzcocks in early 1996.
The band released a 4-track Extended Play recording in August 1996, followed by their first album in 1997 titled "No Sighing Strains of Violins". Tours of the USA, Europe and Japan followed in 1997. A follow up album was released in 1998 titled "A Sense of Solitude".
