“The Juice Ain’t Worth the Squeeze/Go on, Love” is an explosive 7” follow up to Matadaor! Soul Sounds debut album “Get Ready.” The group is a powerhouse jazz, funk, and soul ensemble born from the vision of Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds) and Alan Evans (Soulive).
The band consists of six funk and soul artists, each with their own independent music backgrounds. Alan Evans leads the rhythm section on Drums with Eddie Roberts playing electric guitar along with keyboardist Chris Spies and bassist Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring). Adding a feminine energy to the band are Adryon de León and Kimberly Dawson (Pimps of Joytime) on vocals. Combining the dynamism of each bandleader, the music they have created is brand new, hard-hitting and drenched with their shared musical passions - jazz, funk & soul.
Matador Soul Sounds has been featured in Revive (of the Okayplayer group), Soul Bounce, Pop Matters, Glide Magazine, and more and is currently touring globally.[info from label]
