An Interview with Soul Cannon

Soul Cannon interview

Last week I sat down with Baltimore hip-hop band Soul Cannon to discuss their new album, give us some insights into who they are, and try yet again to explain their sound. We talked for over an hour, but I managed to edit it down to a more approachable 9+ minutes. Make sure you watch the entire video. There are some real gems hidden in there.

Soul Cannon’s new album, aptly titled “Kaboom”, is out on April 22nd. You will be able to find the CD in various stores, but be sure to get your copy at the CD release show, which is being held on Friday, April 25 at The Ottobar.

I cannot stress enough how much you need to be at this show. This is your opportunity to not only see an excellent band, but to also have a great time. So check out the video, listen to the new songs on their MySpace page, come out to see them on the 25th at The Ottobar, and buy the new record, Kaboom!

One Response to “An Interview with Soul Cannon”

They commented on the energy and feeling of rock and roll and the ability to get more content out with an mc and I think thats hitting the nail on the head.

Musically, the monotonous regularity and synthetic character of sampled loops or drum machines and perfect base lines is the difference of drinking fresh squeezed lemonade and country time powder mixed with water. Similar enough but missing that irreplaceable and unmistakable element of humanity. But its more than that. Were a fast society and were getting faster. Never has information been so abundant and so we are used to more. Now we are needing more to feed that desire. Rock, lyrically comparitive, is slow and redundant. Thats not to say they dont have their place, but we are changing the way we communic- hang on my cells ringing.

Solid interview, lookin forward to the show.
