The Liquidators | de

Influenced by the Northern Soul sound of Tamla Motown, The Liquidators hail from the UK. Their music is a joyous mixture of house, funk and soul. Members of The Liquidators, Barry Island and Rob Banks used to be in punk band The Tights and have been influenced by classic Trojan reggae, Tamla Motown, Ska and 70s funk.

This is an excerpt from the band's description of themselves:

"THE LIQUIDATORS ARE THE SCHIZOPHRENIC HALF-SISTERS OF THE TIGHTS. THE NORTHERN SOUL BOYS OF PUNK AND SKINHEAD REGGAE. BORN OUT OF BARRY ISLAND AND ROB BANKS' PASSION FOR WIGAN STOMPS AND EARLY TROJAN SKA. A COLLECTION OF RARE SIXTIES AMERICAN VINYL A ROLAND GROOVE SAMPLER A PHANTOM HORN SECTION LEAD TO THIS FIRST OFFERING "LOVE IN A FOUNTAIN". IT OPENS WITH THE INTRO BARS OF JAMES FOUNTAIN'S BLACKPOOL MECCA CLASSIC "SEVEN DAY LOVER". THE IMMORTAL TWO NOTE PIANO RIFF IS THEN USED TO UNDERPIN A HAMMOND ROTARY ORGAN PATCH STRAIGHT OUT OF TROJAN AND "THE HARRY J ALLSTARS". THE BOYS LOVE "THE LIQUIDATOR" SO MUCH THEY NAMED THE BAND AFTER IT! THIS SONG ONCE CHANTED ON THE TERRACES OF WORCESTER CITY FOOTBALL CLUB AND WAS THE ANTHEM OF MANY A VILLAGE HALL DISCO ACROSS THE WEST MIDLANDS IN THE EARLY 70'S." .
