"SoulPhood/Liquid Dynamite"

Testo Giudizio
Ricordano i Bang Tango, glorie per un giorno nei primi anni novanta, i Soulphood di Atlanta (Georgia, USA), alle prese con Liquid Dynamite per la loro seconda prova discografica. Reminiscenze zeppeliane (tanto per cambiare), Mothers Finest e tanto funky pesante, come se Jimi Hendrix suonasse con i Living Colour (wow!), i SoulPhood basano il proprio sound su ritmi spezzati, infarciti di groove enfatizzato da un uso costante delle percussioni. Sotto l'egida del produttore Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi) i SoulPhood pescano a piene mani dalla tradizione, con il merito di portare a galla un genere dato un po' per disperso, il funky rock (velato di soul). Ancora un po' grezzi per quel che riguarda gli arrangiamenti e una maggiore dinamicità, senza diventare schizzati come i R.H.C.P., i SoulPhood si candidano a diventare più credibili degli Spin Doctors (gruppo scarso diventato famoso per qualche anno). Il quartetto si regge bene a galla, grazie all'entusiasmo e una freschezza propria della giovane età (almeno come band); gli americani vantano in formazione un percussionista di ruolo (Romi Rome), il cantante Adam Bret, anche chitarrista (davvero bravo), più la sezione ritmica formata da Chirs Presta e Dennis Stevenson. Tentano la strada dei pezzi tirati sorretti da cori poco riusciti, ma a parte qualche dettaglio i nostri ci sanno fare, "No Sad Goodbyes", "Thinkin' Of You", "She" e "I Believe" sono scritte e suonate con il giusto piglio.

A Liquid Dynamite manca poco per diventare esplosivo: rocker fatevi avanti

"SoulPhood Rocks Andrews Upstairs"

"The Highlight of the show was a song from their upcoming album, "No Sad Goodbyes." Drummer Chris left is all onstage and attacked the drums with a ferocity rarely seen in these parts. Adam and Dennis added fuel to the fire with blazzing Guitar and Bass playing. Adam and the band ended the show with a rousing version of "Building a Brand New World". He was shouting and cojoling the crowd to get up, dance and let it all hang out. This was truly an incendiary performance!" - Insite Magazine


"SoulPhood: Band on the Rise!"

"Soulphood is Atlanta's newest white hot band and could be the city's next success story. The band was developed from a melting pot of musical influences and passion, while incorporating several key elements of rock, melody and funk. It appears that Atlanta is about to have yet another hot band, and another success story.
Exceeding indutry expectations and smashing stereotypical molds, this group has set out with t intent to create and not imitate. The band has been riding a wave of accoldes and critical praise since the release of their explosive self titled debut album. With an incredible live show, they have returned to Atlanta just in time to celebrate the release of their second single "By My Side". The band has been drawing crowds of 300 oir more at several venues in what the 'biz people" call "major markets".

When asked about the experience, lead vocalist Adam Bret says: "Everyone is competing for the same fan. There are so many great bands aout there. We've been thinking as a bnd what is it that not only makes our product, you know our music and also our performances-our interaction with the audience-special to a fan and what is it that makes us more special thant the thousands of ther great bands competing out there for that audience? I think we learned it's all about giving everything you can. Being genuine and authentic, sharing through music personal experiences, life changing losses and gains, and providing inspiration."

The SoulPhood sound is a rich blend of the music styles that have defined the rock genre' for over 4 decades. Lead Vocals reminiscent of an earlier era, combined with straight up nasty funky blues rock guitar& bass and strong harmonies, and add that to refined melodic arrangements, an R&B foundation, and you have SoulPhood. You can certainly hear the strong Hendrix, Curtis Mayfield, Mothers Finest, and Led Zeppelin influences in the sound. SoulPhood is Classic Rock mixed with Modern Radio Friendly Rock/Pop - add a pinch of R&B, a dab of Funk and a handful of Groove and you've got all the ingredients for great music. SoulPhood's music brings you back to those times we all remember, when music was about Great songs, memorable singers and great playing.

Every member of SoulPhood is a proven recording artist and touring musician in their own right, and now they have come together to bring back the Vibe with the style of music that has shaped our lives. Does SoulPhood sound like the today’s band D' Jour? NO WAY!

This band is not just about the newest over the top trend. SoulPhood is about songs! This band lets you know that it’s still cool to have fun, dig on life and love, even in a world filled with so much angst, that sometimes we get lost and one sure way find yourself again is SoulPhood.
