The Untouchables sont les champions du raw blues, fondant leur son sur le célèbre swinging soul des grands artistes ayant enregistré pour Chess Records dans les années 50’.
Voici leur description en anglais, savoureuse : With a string bass, a stripped down drum kit, a cranked guitar through a hot valve amp and a wailing harp, this band turns any venue into a rocking juke joint.
La presse anglaise est dithyrambique à leur égard :
“The Untouchables play sparse, tasteful Chicago blues. No, not blues rock: tight, swinging, focussed, authentic sounding urban blues, with every element honed to its bare essentials in an unostentatious display of taste and restraint. These players have lived and breathed the style until it’s so much a part of them that it oozes out of their pores. If you like Little Walter, Bo Diddley or Willie Dixon, then this is as close as you’ll get to seeing them live. Utterly superb. »Live Unsigned
« ‘Round Midnight Blues and Jazz Bar had an amazing Friday night with the Untouchables- what a band and what a crowd! Thanks to everyone who made it such a top night! » ‘Round Midnight London
« The Untouchables are an astounding band. Go and see them soon! »Ian McHugh ‘Blues is the Truth’ on UK Jazz Radio
