REVIEWS
"Vinnie has a distinictively original vocal style, the production is raw, and i'm feeling it"
G Love (G Love & Special Sauce)
Bounding are Leeds' newest and finest Blues-Hop funksters.
Led by the charismatic Craig 'Vinnie' Whitehead and backed by The Stars, a group of local faces all with their own blossoming musical careers going on in one way or another aside from this quirky quintet!
Sascha Boehm - No-Title Magazine
I’ll avoid clichés, other than to say that the group’s blend of blues, funk and hip-hop, with notable sprinklings of jazz and ska, was a treat, and proved the frontman,Vinnie (real name Craig), backed by a very solid performance from ‘The Stars’, is one of the most rapidly improving performers in the region.
Jack Martin - No-Title Magazine
"Vinnie and the stars" are a completely differing outfit, it's rap and blues rock…for once really, this is something slightly different than anything you will have heard in recent memory.
Please check out me new video for The Gipton Removal Firm.
The video and the remix were created by Vinny Van Bommel to help promote my forthcoming album "The Jimmy Saville Experience"!
Im sure you'll agree that the video is amazing so please could you do me a massive favour and forward this to a few of your contacts to help spread word about me album release?
Any possibility of blogging, bulletining, e-mailing, telephoning, jungle drumming, texting, pigeon messaging, or anything else ending in ing to anyone at all who might have an interest in turning out for the RIbFEST October 9th, 10th & 11th at Howden please?
