5/18/20 Five Songs

Mississippi Queen; Mountain: When you leave behind everything you know, and it. is. GOOD.

For Your Love; Humble Pie: This is longing -- this. Not that counterfeit trash where you treat a person like a thing. Torchy as heck.

Anyone For Tennis; Cream: When the relationship is a lie, but you still have to make nice. There's a reason Great Britain is still standing.

Knock On Wood; Eddie Floyd: Drop-dead sexy.

Shotgun; Junior Walker; See above, add African -- not African-American -- juke rhythms, and the final mix this 1965 smash should have had all along. Result? A cross-continental classic.

If Broadway Sounds were a cocktail, they'd be the richest, most flavoursome blend. What are the ingredients, you may ask? Mix together some RnB, afro rock, boogie funk, psych pop, calabash rock, township jive, soul, kwela jazz, exotic folk and soca/calypso with a dose of pop, and you have yourself a taste of Broadway Sounds.

With two EPs under their belt, 2015 has seen the Melbourne four-piece drip feed their fans with new singles from their forthcoming EP due out mid this year. Their latest single 'See It Again' has brought the band into the limelight for their unique take on psych pop.
