Those in the know have been listening, and waiting, but we're delighted to announce that East London's finest funk ensemble, Smith and The Honey Badgers are finally back! While they've been honing their live show at Lovebox and Boomtown Fair, as well as sharing a stage with George Clinton, and getting some airplay on Craig Charles' Funk and Soul show for BBC6 music, they've managed to put together some fresh fire in the studio. With a new release on Detroit's mighty Funk Night Records Smith. Part Sharon Jones, part Irma Thomas, vocalist Marietta Smith has the pipes. She is backed by a 7 piece outfit, who spread their funk and sweet, sweet soul around like fresh jam. Expect classic deep-soul vocals, with a heavy-funk backing. If you like labels like Daptone, Motown, or Stax then you need to check them out!
