The Stormmers was a group led by Renny Pearl, former bandleader and bass player with Aktion (The Aktions/Aktion 13), an Afro funk band from Warri, Nigeria that burned brightly and briefly in the mid-'70s. With the help of Jake Sollo, an ex-Funkee and recently reconstituted disco dandy, the guys created 'Lovers Song', an album of frantically musical bass lines, skittery high hats and an irresistible urge to get onto the dancefloor. The album was recorded in Nigeria and the UK and released in 1981, a time in Nigeria when oil prices were falling, beats-per-minute were rising and clubbers wanted to party like there was no tomorrow. The urgent, salacious sounds of The Stormmers suited that mood perfectly.
