Review: Ever since they recruited powerhouse vocalist 'Mighty" May Johnston for some tracks on second album, Look Out, Watch Out, back in 2011, this raw and retro Aussie soul band have been slowly building up to this, their first proper album with Johnston at the helm. "Come Alive!" certainly does just that, boasting ten effervescent '60s / '70s indebted gems that don't mess about. We've been recently introduced to two tracks here ("Done Me Wrong", "Souls Come Alive") via a teaser single and boy, have they set the tone for this accomplished record by a group at their musical peak. Bravo.

Review: Aussie retro-soul outfit Deep Street Soul introduced us to new vocalist 'Mighty" May Johnston on their second album back in 2011. Now they've finally finished the follow-up and we can expect album No 3 very shortly. Here they offer a two-track sampler to get us in the mood. That it does too in a big way with "Souls Come Alive" channeling the vibes of the late, great Janis Joplin on this bluesy soul ballad. The other teaser here is the stomping "Done Me Wrong", which features a slick beat shuffle, sassy brass and the most gritty, powerful roar in music today!

Review: Down home funk that recalls old-school greats like Marva Whitney as well as new jack funkateers like Sharon Jones and The Dap Tones from Deep Street Soul, who work up a stomp on the excellent "Hold On Me" and back it up with the more jazzy popcorn swing of "This Love Ain't Big Enough". Two excellent cuts from the group's latest LP, "Look Out, Watch Out".

Review: Building on their self-titled debut LP for Freestyle Records, Australian funk juggernaut Deep Street Soul return stronger than ever - with new vocalist May Johnston lending a wicked soulful snarl to the raw delights of "Look Out Watch Out". With live funk drums taking centre stage in the mix over Hammond organ and chicken-scratch guitars, it's a raucous delight. In contrast, their cover of Clarence Reid's "Masterpiece" (this time sung by Greenbacks' Shirley Davis) is a slower, cowbell-driven soul stomper.
