Prisoners are English proponets of the wildest American garage-rock. Led by guitarist Graham Day, and supported by Jamie Taylor's organ, the Prisoners started out in "mod"-mode (Who, Faces) with A Taste Of Pink (Own-Up) and Thewisermiserdemelza (Big Beat).

Taylor formed his Quartet, an instrumental combo in the wake of 1960s surf bands, and Day launched the Prime Movers (with new keyboardist Fay Day). The Prime Movers dived into the hot sound of the Pacific Northwest (rhythm and blues and soul-jazz) with the album Sins Of The Forefathers (Cyanide, 1989), that remains Day's masterpiece.

After reuniting the Prisoners for the single Shine On Me (Deceptive, 1997), Day will form Solarflares and release one of his best albums ever, Psychedelic Tantrum (Twist, 1999), steeped into the tradition of Who and Animals.

I Prisoners sono fautori inglesi del garage rock americano più selvaggio. Guidati dal chitarrista Graham Day e supportati dall'organo di Jamie Taylor, i Prisoners iniziarono in modalità modern jazz (The Who, Faces) con A Taste Of Pink ( Own-Up) e Thewisermiserdemelza ( Big Beat). Taylor formò poi il suo Quartetto, una combinazione strumentale sulla scia delle band surf anni '60, mentre Day lanciò i Prime Movers (con il nuovo tastierista Fay Day). I Prime Movers si sono immersi nel suono caldo del Pacific Northwest (rhythm and blues e soul jazz) con l'album Sins Of The Forefathers (Cyanide, 1989), che rimane il capolavoro di Day. Dopo aver riunito i Prisoners per il singolo Shine On Me (Deceptive, 1997), Day formerà i Solarflares e pubblicherà uno dei suoi migliori album di sempre, Psychedelic Tantrum (Twist, 1999), immerso nella tradizione dei Who e degli Animals.
