The Prisoners

In From the Cold

Genre: Garage Revival

4.75 out of 5

Highlights:

All You Gotta Do is Say

Come Closer

In From the Cold

Find and Seek

I love this record. As much as I did Last Fourfathers. It’s all energy and love and respect for genre in ways that Thee Mighty Caesers just can’t make happen.

It also seems to have injected itself with the DNA of “A Little More Conversation” and I am there for it. 

If there is one band that I completely missed and am grateful to this project for it’s The Prisoners.

The 1985 Listening Post - The Prisoners - The Last Fourfathers

The Prisoners - The Last Fourfathers

#253/904

1985 Housekeeping

The Prisoners

The Last Fourfathers

Genre: Psychedelic Garage

4.75 out of 5

Highlights:

Thinking of You (Broken Pieces)

FOP

This is an incredible album inasmuch as it sounds EXACTLY like the music it wants to sound like: Late 60s, Strawberry Alarm Clock Psychedelic, Hammond Organ Garage Rock.

They do it so well I swear it was made IN 1968 instead of 1985. And I love having it on. It’s sort of spectacular, even if it is fully emulating the past.

I think The Prisoners are a tad late to the party. I mean, The Jam had called it quits by this time and the scene had moved on, hadn’t it? But, wow do they get it right.
