The Christians always brought the soul in their own unique way. The Liverpool act, originally named after the founding trio of brothers (not their religious views), had a run of chart success in the late 80s finding a large audience for their gritty and deceptive style of music. 30 years later they’re still finding new audiences for their sound and still delivering heartfelt music with all the intensity and conviction that carried them through their 80s heyday.
Their appearance isn’t what you’d typically associate with a soul group. In fact, they were once described as ‘The Temptations in ripped jeans’ but we all know that looks can be deceiving and once the vocals start there can be no doubts about the kind of group The Christians are. Frontman and founding member Garry Christian delivers his songs with a passion that has only deepened with the years gone by and as the band lay down a smooth bed for his vocals to soar over, he dominates any venue they play with his sombre tones. The feelings conveyed within their music makes it impossible for any crowd not to emotionally connect with The Christians and that’s what ultimately makes their brand of soul completely unique.
