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.

Dom Smith - The Talk Magazine
