Manchester based rock quartet Getner sing about Operation Motorman, carried out by the British Army against the Republicans during The Troubles across various cities Northern Ireland on July 31, 1972. Two band members grew up in Derry, where the stories about that faithful day are still being told today. It is a loud and angry tune, riding the wave of an unrelenting riff, with a bit of self-deprecating humour as a relief for the tension that is the main driving force.
Getner:
Quentin Wylie: lead vocals
Charlie Barber: guitar, backing vocals
Will Minton: bass, backing vocals
Ruairi Coyle: drums, lead & backing vocals
Motorman is a self-released single. The video was made by Harry Proctor.
