   About The Fantastics!

*

Mixing together funk, blues, soul and jazz, THE FANTASTICS! have released 45s on Freestyle, Raw Wax, and Tramp, performed live BBC sessions for Mark Lamarr and Craig Charles, and released albums on Freestyle Records and Soul Cookers (as Rev Cleatus & The Soul Saviours). Like their incendiary live performances around the UK and across Europe, the latest album 'Mighty Righteous' (Freestyle Records) rips up the the rigidly defined genres of 'the funk scene', and throws decades of hip swinging musical influences into the mix to create something fresh and engaging.

"Thank god for The Fantastics!! Not only should you buy
their records, go and witness them live!" - DJ Format

The Fantastics! "Mighty Righteous", is available now from Freestyle Records (CD/LP/download):
(click images for more details)

Mighty Righteous
is also available worldwide from Amazon
(CD/LP/Download)

Dreams are for the foolish, and yet we are the ones who are foolish enough to believe in that elusive state of being called happiness; and that life’s reward is giving beyond our means. I am happiest when doing the thing I love most, feeling most fulfilled when I see my dreams come true from my  struggle and perseverance, therefore  we are luminous beings that can out shine any darkness that befalls us. We would like to imagine that life could be a fairy tale when we are faced with issues that knock us off our path to destiny, but in that time of struggle is where we find our greatest strength and courage. It is in, that moment that comes to us in revelation unveiling our true image and giving us a glimpse of what was always there:  strong and confident we are, intelligent and wise beyond what we are lead to believe, and gifted with talents and passion to accomplish unreachable goals, so we arrive there holding a torch of victory after all the hard work has paved the way, so I say to you, “Believe and you can achieve, let go and you will receive”, you are meant for success and progress and there can be no one, to hold you back.
