Straight outta Brooklyn, NY, the power trio that is Mama’s Dirty Li’l Secret delivers a musical punch that can only be described as the sonic love child born of the torrid love affair between Soul and Punk. With big soulful choruses, catchy riffs, booming bass and thunder grooves, Mama’s Dirty Li’l Secret have carved a special niche in the ears of music fans everywhere.
The Deacon heads up this triumvirate with his neo-Romeo vocals and straight-ahead rock/ska guitar stylings. The 2-man frontline is rounded out with the animalistic, bombastic bass of The Monster – the funky punk, punk o’ funk. And last but not least, Damn provides the non-stop, pulse-pounding, pimp-your-mama-punk-metal drums that gets you off your seat and on your feet!
And listening is only half the experience. When MDLS hits the stage with their soulpunk attitude and contagious energy, you can’t help but catch the spirit, cut loose and rock. It’s SooooooulPunk, mamalovers!
Rock Hard, Rock Sexy!
My Review: Allrighty now! I’ve done reviews of jazz/heavy metal fusion, post-Dada music and some other strange combinations, so why not Soul Punk? You know what? I like it!
In most Punk bands you don’t see much “showcasing” of say, the lead guitarist, bass player or the drummer. This is different. In “I Confess” Damn’s drums dominate, in “They All Want Something” you have some funky bass lines from The Monster and its all held together with the “glue” of The Deacon’s straight ahead guitar. In “Why Don’t You Love Me?” You really feel the soul come through in the lyrics. Change it up a little and it would make a nice blues piece.
The music is very catchy. It makes you want to move to the beat, tap your toes, get up and dance, whatever, you feel compelled to move to it. Its the kind of music you want to play over and over again.
Hopefully, Soul Punk will catch on with today’s youth, it would be a nice alternative to “gangsta rap” and hardcore punk. It sounds pretty danceable, too. I’m going to rate Mama’s Dirty Li’l Secret 10 stars and a “thumbs up”! Punk O’ Funk! I like that! Rock On!
