With a blast of brass, a steady beat and a huge sounding soul riff, The Inciters arrive with all guns blazing on ‘I Give You My Soul’. The ten piece band grab the listeners’ attention immediately by sounding like the ultimate show band on the really hook-laden ‘Give Me’, and the arrangement’s great brass sounds extend way beyond making a first impression. An equally huge trombone and trumpet combo fills the instrumental breaks of this EP’s opening number, and underscored with a great bassline, there are moments where the ghosts of Lee Fields recordings come through, and the influence of the Daptone horns is more than evident. The Inciters put their own stamp on an old soul sound, of course, and Katrina Grube’s light influence from melodic jazz is also shared with great effect. Throughout these three minutes, she breathes a sound into a great lyric and an enormous hook. This is one of those numbers to which the phrase “kitchen sink production” very much applies, and if you’ve had any interest in The Inciters’ work prior to this, you’ll love this track.

THE INCITERS – Bring Back The Weekend / If I Could Only Be Sure
Over the years, American band The Inciters have delivered a great blend of northern soul and rocking sounds in a package that’s pretty much guaranteed to get their audience jumping. Their ‘Boot N Soul’ single from 2023 was a perfect example of their retro heart beating furiously, and its parent album ‘Bring Back The Weekend’ showed how the band were not just about quality, but also consistency. Within that thirty five minutes, the musicians worked their way through self penned soul bangers, twangy rock numbers with a retro flair, and even a couple of retro pop infused numbers that lent themselves brilliantly to a horn section, each with equal greatness. It was one of those albums that, no matter where you dropped the needle, a good time was guaranteed.
