About Screaming Soul
Screaming Soul is the organic sound of London at the edge of the 21st Century, infused with all the rich flavours and spices that the melting pot has to offer. Their music takes you through dark alleys to dim lit jazz clubs, then out into daylight, through the chaos of rush hour, weaving tales of inner city blues, before dropping you off at a smoked out reggae sound clash to wind your woes away. Lyrically the group are in a class (and quite often world) of their own, painting vivid pictures with emotionally charged lyrics over vast, epic soundscapes. The bands’ themes are drawn from multiple sources but ultimately they try to be catalysts or translators for the city and its voiceless masses. Ghetto Priest (aka Squid) is a veteran of the UK Reggae scene, formerly as part of African Head Charge and more recently with the Asian Dub Foundation and Adrian Sherwood. His intoxicating vocals and powerful stage presence never fail to deliver an unforgettable performance. His debut album “Vulture Culture” was produced by UK Dub/Reggae pioneer Adrian Sherwood and released on his legendary On-U Sound imprint in 2003 to critical acclaim. Sandman (aka Lucid Mover) has spent many years on the UK Hip-Hop scene working with some of the industry’s top artists, both on record and behind the scenes. After years of working in the shadows, Sandman has emerged from the underground with a fistful of jewels. His refreshingly unique style of production involves live recordings of all instruments with minimal sample use, drawing upon inspiration from Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Rock, Blues and many others, but of course, it is all held together with a Dubby Hip-Hop twist- a deliciously moreish cocktail. “His ability to construct complex and multi-faceted rhyme-structures is consistently spellbinding, and his gift for story-telling allows him to bring an original voice to subject matter that many of his peers make sound clichéd. “ – www.ilikemusic.com Screaming Soul combines the wisdom and experience of maturity with the enthusiasm and curiosity of youth. This potent blend of old and new creates a fresh but familiar sound, which is capturing the hearts and minds of music lovers across the globe.
