Funk! Soul! Passion! We know the Soul & Funk Bands which have been put together towards their own casting. The Sweet Vandals have searched and found themeselves, this genre is their passion and it rewards in the sound – Real! This state of “realness“ has been reached by only a few recordings in the last years, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings , Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators and of course the New Mastersounds. The Vandals are different from these combos. They pass on Horn Sections to put exactly on the record how it’s realized on stage!

“With a band that sounds like the New Mastersounds and a husky voice that sounds like Delores Ealy you cannae go wrong!”
Jazzman (UK)

 

 

Ailing from Madrid/Spain, this band is one of the most appreciated Soul/Funk bands we can offer! With the amazing female vocals of Mayka Edjo this band has an absolute tight sound full of that magic Hammond Organ & funky guitars! After listening to these 2 tracks you know why Paul Weller is in love with em! On the flip you'll get a dance floor filling version of James Brown' "papa's got a brandnew bag"!! Killer, get it! White papersleeve only!

“2 funky slices from the first full length by The Sweet Vandals -- both of them with a classic deep funk groove! "Charlie Love" has riffing guitars and very tight drums -- cooked up with a bit of Hammond at the bottom, and featuring some nicely accented vocals on the main lyric -- that really preserve the romping feel of the tune! "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" is a cover of the classic by James Brown -- and again, the oddly-voiced lyrics really help keep the tune fresh -- not to mention some especially great drums!”
