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. Their music is characterised by a melodic blend of pop, folk and traditional Celtic influences.

Their first single, "Painted Moon," was a minor international hit and invited critical comparisons to Simple Minds and U2.

  • 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, созвучный The Smiths и отмеченный склонностью к криминальной тематике. 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. (ru)
