Potent Stones-influenced garage-blues
hyperbolium | Earth, USA | 04/26/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Grown in the same Detroit firmament as The White Stripes, this three-piece offers a similar blend of garage rock and blues, but without the two-piece minimalism. Their fifth album, the first for the California-based Alive Records, gains its intensity and blues heaviness more from the British Invasion (particularly the Stones, Yardbirds and Pretty Things) than directly from the Mississippi Delta or Chicago bars. The potent rhythm guitar interplay and the punk-tinged vocals are particularly remindful of mid-60s blues reinterpreters. The band's originals add touches of psychedelia and glamrock swagger, and on "Good Feeling" a taste of the Memphis soul that Big Star brought to the rock 'n' roll party. The band's fascination with the Stones hasn't subsided, but it's definitely evolved, as though their debt has been paid but not forgotten. [©2006 hyperbolium dot com]"

"I remember their last record. I think it was a live record. It was pretty good, but not a proper recording. Finally we have what I am talking about. Soledad Brothers are one of the best bands from Detroit. Now they are reaching out to the rest of the world. It's a lot of good old rock and roll. One of the best songs is "Downtown Paranoia Blues." This record is a trip. It goes back and forth between intensity and relaxation. It is a great album of roots rock and powerful emotions.

Blues Rock is back!

"The return of the garage blues rock is finally coming. Black Keys, White Stripes, Golden Animals, and Soledad Brothers prove that mark. Soledad is the raw compliment to the White Stripes. The funny thing is the two bands started up at the same time and happen to know each other. In fact one fo the Soledad members taught Jack White how to play slide guitar. That in itself should grab people in to buy their albums. Soledad are raw, energetic, talented, and by all means fun to listen to."
