The Prisoners
The Prisoners were a band formed in 1980 in Rochester, Kent,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Ace Records )〕 England. Their 1960s garage sound made them a regular live fixture in London's underground "psychedelic revival" and "mod revival" scene of the early 1980s, as well as a linchpin of the Medway scene.
==Biography==
The Prisoners line-up was: Graham Day (Vocals and Guitars), James Taylor (Hammond Organ), Allan Crockford (Bass) and Johnny Symons (Drums).〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-prisoners-mn0000491824/biography〕 The band's sound combined catchy, retro-flavoured melodies, punky guitar riffs, a Steve Marriott-esque vocal style and a lead instrument of the then-unfashionable Vox Continental organ. They often toured with The Milkshakes, who included Billy Childish on guitar. The Prisoners didn't have much commercial success during their original lifespan, but were later likened to The Jam and acclaimed as an influence on the Madchester sound of bands such as The Charlatans.〔〔http://goodhoodstore.com/mens/features/1450〕
After releasing several self-financed records and spending a year with Big Beat Records, in 1985 the Prisoners moved away from the London garage band tag and instead directly into the Mod revival mainstream. They also made an under-rated final album, "In From The Cold", for the ailing Stiff Records label on their subsidiary label "Countdown". This deal was unsuccessful and the band split acrimoniously in 1986. They have however reformed for live shows several times since then, and managed to release a final one-off single in 1997.
