“Alabama 3 are a seminal band the new album is their best yet” – Alan McGee“I Love it its fucking brilliant” – Martina Coleth Alabama 3 have never been your average band, and now they are back continuing to break all the rules. Together for 13 years still with the same line up and now on their 8studio album 'Revolver Soul'. Alabama 3 are choosing to take control the wisdom gained from being on independent and major labels (One Little Indian, Sony & Geffen) andstart their own record label Hostage to release it.th For 8 studio album 'Revolver Soul' they have distilled everything that was always so great about them, while at the same time ramping up the sonic malevolence and theirendless ability to surprise. It's an eclectic record full of eclectic styles, which front man Larry Love inhabits like a ghost with a penchant for mischief. It could well be theirdefining moment, their crowning achievement to date.Alabama 3's studio is based at now legendary Brixton venue Jamm. With Alabama 3 always being a band who knew people that knew people, Jamm quickly became thekind of studio for like-minded souls to congregate, a place with no concept of closing time, instead a 24-hour den of iniquity driven by fevered creativity and a willingness toexperiment. Consequently, 'Revolver Soul' has become a fantastically collaborative effort of themes and ideas, and great, great tunes. It features Razorlight's JohnnyBorrell, Jake Parker, and the inimitable Shane McGowan, alongside Jamm regulars Congo Natty, Tenor Fly and Daddy Freddy.Probably best known for single 'Woke Up This Morning' being the titled music for now cult show The Sopranos, over the years they have actually also been busy collectingother claims to fame like their music in The Simpsons, Stephen King asking them to play at his book openings, counting Irvine Welsh and Anjelica Huston as firm fans, eventh playing her 50 birthday party.Alabama 3 are: Rob aka Larry Love (Lead vocal) -- Jake aka The Rev D Wayne love (Vocal/freestyle vocal) -- Zoe aka Devlin Love (vocals) -- Aurora Dawn (vocals)-- Orlando aka Spirit of Love (Keyboards/synth/piano) -- Mark Sams aka Rock Freebase (Guitar/acoustic guitar) -- Steve 'Stevie nicked' Finnerty (Guitar/bv's) --Johnny aka LB Dope (Drums) -- Eddie aka Sir Eddie Real (Drums/Percussion) -- Piers aka Mountain of Love (Programming/Harmonica/bv's) -- Nick Reynolds akaHarpo Strangelove (Harmonica/bv's)
