We're too proud to exhibit what is presented as the norm in today's music. We want to continue the development of an idiosyncratic genre of music that we believe will always be vital.
Few bands are so revered by their contemporaries as the SOLEDAD BROTHERS, who formed in 1998 and hail from the same Detroit scene that spawned the likes of the White Stripes, The Detroit Cobras, and the Greenhornes. "The Hardest Walk" arrives a full two years after the release of their acclaimed third album 'Voice Of Treason," and is their best work to date. It transcends the rampant garage blues that had so characterized the band's previous work by taking in a diverse range of influences, from Dr John and Albert Ayler to Syd Barrett and early Neil Young, with some Brit pop melodies and soul grooves added for good measure. The result is a mature, personal, and complex rock'n'roll album not to be missed.
The Hardest Walk is released March 6th in the UK by Loog Records and March 14th in the US by Alive Records.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you and to thank all musicians everywhere for the inspiration that we draw upon. We must all remember that we stand upon the shoulders of giants and to those that have come before us.
