The Christians
Liverpool
http://www.thechristianslive.co.uk
Described as “the Temptations in ripped jeans ......“ by one rock critic, the Liverpool band´s infectious melodies and warm harmonies had a deep emotional undercurrent. Feeding on accusations, protest, despair and even self-doubt, their “socially aware soul“ made a big impact on the complacent music scene of the late 80s. The band´s name came from the surname of the three brothers that were originally in the line-up (Garry, Russell and Roger Christian) and was also, coincidentally, their songwriter/guitarist/keyboards player Henry Priestman´s middle name.
