About

MOD band formed in 1982 in Chatham, England. They were a regular live fixture on the London "garage revival" mini-scene of the early 80´s and often toured with sparring partners THE MILKSHAKES who included Billy Childish on guitar. The Prisoners sound combined catchy, retro flavoured melodies, punk guitar riffs, a Steve Marriott-esque vocal style and a lead instrument of the then-unfashionable Hammond organ. The Prisoners never met with much commercial
