Hailing from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, The Soul Surfers managed to capture a sound that many American bands spend decades chasing.
"Soul Rock! is exactly what the title promises—a heavy, distorted blend of raw funk and psychedelic rock that feels like it was unearthed from a 1971 time capsule."
The production on this record is gloriously "lo-fi" in the best way possible. It’s crunchy, the drums hit with a dry thud, and the organ leads slice through the mix with a biting grit.
It’s mostly instrumental, letting the groove do the talking, and it proves that soul music is a universal language. Whether they're leaning into a slow, heavy stomp or a fast-paced breakbeat, the energy is consistent and the vibe is undeniable.
