Drunksouls - revolution

French independent band Drunksouls' music is a mix of styles with reggae, hiphop and rock mixed with punk attitude, funk and a love to experiment and play around with different influences. Their first LP was downloaded over 100000 times and this album looks set to continue their success.
Picking out some highlights, "Drifter song" which starts the album off is so infectuous and funky you can't stop listening to it over and over again. "Sullivan Song" sounds great with mad keyboards and an almost Two-Tone feel to it. "Happy death day" is a bit melancholic and has some nice horns.

"The end" is one of the most experimental on the album, with some crazy synth sounds and a slinky reggae beat. "Supermarket" is frenetic and races along amid a sea of funk and tasty keyboards. The title track "Revolution" has some interesting sounds amid its rock-rap attack.
"Uniform" which closes the album takes things down in tempo and feel being quite reflective before erupting into some tasty guitar work but keeping a powerful message, light and dark like much of the album.
