The legendary ESG return with their first new
album in nearly five years on Soul Jazz Records.
The new album features their trademark stripped
down punk/funk style that has spawned a whole
generation of fans and bands thirty years on from
their first release, "Moody" EP on Factory Records
(and the infamous 99 Records in America). First
produced by Martin Hannett, ESG were instantly
accepted into the worlds of punk/new wave, hip-hop
and dance music - a unique position which still
holds true today.
From playing at the opening night of Manchester's
legendary Hacienda to the closing night of Larry
Levan's equally legendary Paradise Garage in New
York, ESG have remained one of the all-time
cult-bands.
Their track "UFO" is one of the most sampled
tracks in the history of hip-hop (Public Enemy,
Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Marley Marl) which lead
them to record "Sample Credits Don't Pay Our
Bills" in the 1980s.
Courted by the punk/new wave community they played
with groups such as The Clash, A Certain Ratio,
Public Image, Gang of Four.
Through 99 Records in New York, they also became
associated with the No Wave groups such as
label-mates Liquid Liquid and others such as Mars,
DNA, James Chance and The Contortions.
The amazing history of ESG begins in the South
Bronx where they grew up in the tenements. Four
sisters, Renee, Valerie, Marie and Deborah
Scroggins, encouraged by their mother, began
playing music together as teenagers as a way to
keep themselves out of trouble with neighbourhood
gang life. Taking their name from their
birthstones - Emerald, Sapphire and Gold - this
was soon shortened to ESG.
Thirty years on and ESG remains a family affair
with sisters Rennee, Valerie and Marie along with
Renee's daughter Nicole and Valerie's daughter
Chistelle.
In 2000 Soul Jazz Records released A South Bronx
Story which brought their classic music to a new
audience. This was followed by the critically
acclaimed "Step Off" and now "Keep On Moving".
