Sniffin’ & Snatchin’ Album
Here you have the first original full album by The Soul Snatchers on record label Social Beats.
Real Soul Music never dies. That’s what the insatiable musicians of the Dutch band The Soul Snatchers prove every time they treat a swinging crowd to their timeless, down to earth funk and soul tunes, that find their roots in the sexy Sixties and Seventies of the 20th century. Taking pure Soul Music right across the bridge into the new century, The Soul Snatchers combine unknown classics and original compositions into a show that not only appeals to connoisseurs, but just as well to bigger, more mainstream-oriented audiences. The Soul Snatchers don’t claim to have invented Soul Music. Neither do they pretend to re-invent it. They… just HAVE it! And they LOVE to share it with Funk- Soul lovers in every corner of the globe.
Founded rock solid on the well oiled rhythm section of clean drums and thumping bass, the dangerously growling Hammond organ and the reverbing guitar sounds find their way to your soul blindly. Add to that the threeheaded copper section The Dynamite Horns, the tormented throat of female singer YoYo and the charismatic performances of singer Curtis T. and special guest vocalist Jimi Bellmartin…and all ingredients for a real Soul Party are present.
In February 2008 The Soul Snatchers’ first full album will be released with mainly original compositions, named ‘Sniffin’ and Snatchin’ The 11 short’n’spicy soul tracks with the Sixties Sound all over them result in an album with a good old LP-length. So… no wonder ‘Sniffin’ and Snatchin’ ‘ is available on nice crispy black vinyl!
