Rock / Funk
"You guys are the sweatiest band I've ever seen," said one fan after a show, aptly describing the bucketloads of energy that Andreas, Ricardo and Marko expend.
Defining a genre known as "Pfunk", ((SRS)) combines funk and rock influences with reggae, jazz, blues, hip hop and world music. Picking up where bands like Funkadelic and Sly & the Family Stone left off, Soul Rebel Sound blends funk and rock seamlessly but gives it all a "New Millennium twist" for the youth of today. Using their unique and unorthodox writing style, ((SRS)) has a way of combining influences to create new sonic textures that tread the line between mass appeal and underground innovation. Their influences run the gamut from Sonic Youth to Pat Metheny, from Ella Fitzgerald to the Melvins and from Robert Johnson to Prince.
This city...
This city of facial piercings, black clothes and bad hair. This city, with it's air of smugness and per capita crime. This city of gunshots, stab wounds and dirty looks... It smells: This city stinks of stagnation and misplaced dreams. This is the Megatropolis.
Oddly enough - or maybe not quite so oddly - there are quite a few musicians in this city. It is home to some of the finest venues, clubs, bands and labels in the country as well as being home to ((Soul Rebel Sound)), an experimental funk/rock fusion act that's concerned primarily with the proper articulation of the soul.
((Soul Rebel Sound)) consists of an ever-evolving group of musicians whose aim is to bring their unique take on art and music to the table, in the hopes of influencing others to follow suit.
At their worst, they are a blast to see live, kicking each other and swinging from the rafters in frustration when their dilapidated gear breaks down on stage.
At their best, Soul Rebel Sound bursts onto the scene like a nuclear warhead, sending their fallout of rhythm into the minds and bodies of the people.
