The Silencers est un groupe de rock écossais formé dans les années 1980.

Histoire

Leur aventure musicale débuta à Londres en 1985 lorsque le chanteur Jimme O'Neill et ses trois amis enregistrèrent une première démo de trois titres (dont Painted moon) qu'ils proposèrent aux maisons de disques.

Les réactions furent toutes enthousiastes face à leur rock pop folk terriblement mélodique, RCA s'empressa de les signer.

Rapidement, leurs disques se retrouvèrent disques d'or. "Les Silencers" font partie de ces groupes qui ont mis le rock écossais sur le devant de la scène.

Après sept albums enregistrés en studio, Jimme O'Neill et sa troupe reviennent avec leur premier disque en public qu'ils ont enregistré à Glasgow en janvier 2000 devant le chaleureux public écossais.

Après une courte intro, Jimme O'Neill s'attaque à Bulletproof heart et son refrain si accrocheur, suivent Painted moon, I can feel it, Receiving, etc.

Le live "A Night of Electric Silence" sort en 2001, et en 2005, un nouvel album studio "Come", suivi d'une petite tournée en France, en Suisse et en Écosse, et en 2007, un DVD live.

L'aventure continue en 2008 : Jimme O'Neill sort un album solo très personnel intitulé "Real".

[en] The Silencers (band)

The Silencers are a Scottish rock band formed in London in 1986 by Jimme O'Neill and Cha Burns, two ex-members of the post-punk outfit Fingerprintz.[1] Their music is characterised by a melodic blend of pop, folk and traditional Celtic influences. Often compared to Scottish bands with a similar sound like Big Country, Del Amitri and The Proclaimers, The Silencers have distinguished themselves with their eclectic sounds, prolific output and continued career. Their first single, "Painted Moon," was a minor international hit and invited critical comparisons to Simple Minds and U2. In 1987 they released their first album A Letter From St. Paul, which included "Painted Moon" and another minor hit, "I See Red." Buoyed by the huge European hit "Bulletproof Heart", the band's third album Dance to the Holy Man is the band's commercial peak to date. Throughout the 1990s, The Silencers saw a popular taste shift away from their songwriter-based style of music toward grunge and electronic music.

[ru] Fingerprintz

Fingerprintz — британская нововолновая группа, образованная в 1978 году в Лондоне, Англия, певцом и автором песен шотландцем Джимми О’Нилом и, согласно Allmusic, ставшая одним из немногих коллективов, «придавших хоть какой-то авторитет рыночному термину new wave». Квартет исполнял мелодичный постпанк, выполненный в простых, но изящных аранжировках[1], созвучный The Smiths[2] и отмеченный склонностью к криминальной тематике[3]. Fingerprinz, выпустив три студийных альбома (два на Virgin Records, один — на Stiff) в 1981 году распались. В 1986 году Бёрнс и О’Нил образовали новую группу, The Silencers[1].
