Strength is the title track from The Alarm's second album, released in 1985 by the Welsh rock band formed in Rhyl. Fronted by Mike Peters, the group built a following with earnest, folk influenced rock that was often compared to U2 and The Clash. The song became one of their best known releases in the UK and US during the mid 1980s. Remastered reissues have kept the track in circulation on streaming and soundboards, where its short anthemic excerpt is reused by fans sharing classic rock moments online.
