Press Release :
'A new soul sensation operates from the Lowlands'

An organic connection between a number of missionaries from the Dutch and English soul and funk scene has resulted in a hard hittin' band and a smashin' debut album. This year the world will meet Laura Vane & The Vipertones!

At the beginning of July 2009, the first single 'Am I Dreaming?' will be released. This is an up-tempo soul song with a driving Motown groove, a moving bassline and a catchy chorus. We think this is the best of soul this summer!

In August the album will be released on Social Beats / Unique Records. Meanwhile the band has been performing all over Europe at clubs and festivals in the Netherlands. Germany has already experienced the unparalleled, pure and funky energy of vampy Vane and her impressive band.

Earlier this year the band released an introductory 7” with the irresistibly danceable 'Steam', and 'Man of your Word' as the B-side. As a result, these tracks are regularly playlisted by many well respected deejays all over Europe like Francesco Adinolfi (Rai 2, Italy), Paul Thornton (UK), Snowboy (UK) and Craig Charles (BBC).

Laura Vane has been a dynamic presence in the UK music scene for some time and has worked as a vocalist for major artists; Gnarls Barkley, The Streets and Omar. She can also be heard as lead vocalist for several soul, jazz and dance projects like Diesler, Part Time Heroes, Hint and Hardkandy. After all these collaborations, the time has finally come to concentrate on her own material. Meeting The Vipertones helped realise this vision and made it entirely possible. In less than 2 months their debut album was written and recorded.

Laura Vane & The Vipertones in the studio are Laura Vane (vocals), Ton van der Kolk (bass, guitars), Phil Martin (drums, production) and Jonathan Radford (production). Live on stage with Laura Vane & the Vipertones is an 8 piece band with additional horns and hammond organ. Additional Musicians: Frank Montis // Rob Geboers // Rolf Delfos // Peter Broekhuizen // Cees Trappenburg // Katie Holmes // Simone Roerade

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
