GRAHAM DAY was a founder member of The Prisoners, Prime Movers & The Solar Flares as well as drummer in The Mighty Caesers and bassist in The Buff Medways alongside his old friend Billy Childish.

Graham Day & The Gaolers were formed in 2007. Graham was joined on this new musical venture by Dan Elektro and Buzz Hagstrom from legendary US garage band The Woggles.

They are the amalgamation of Graham’s tuneful and aggressive songs, driven with an energy and attitude which has been perfectly captured in a simple no-frills studio recording. Their first single “Get Off My Track” a one off for a Paris based club promoter was critically acclaimed.

The NME said…

‘The first release by his new band The Gaolers, ‘Get Off My Track’ is so freakbeat crazed it will have Russell Brand and his child-scaring hair running back to Hogwarts, and is all delivered with a paint-stripping intensity which makes The White Stripes sound like The Feeling. Someone get this man out of the Cult Hero clink and into the charts, fast. Legends have been made of less.’

Soundtrack To The Daily Grind was the band’s debut album, released on 29th November 2007. Originally released on black vinyl and CD. Both formats quickly sold out. Due to demand we reissued the album on white vinyl LP. The band have since released two more albums, Triple Distilled (2008)and Reflections In The Glass (2023), but like many a debut album this one captures them in their rawest, most primal form.
