Spinnin' / Vinyl LP

Eastwood Music Group proudly presents the debut full-length LP release Spinnin’ from the east Dallas classic R&B disciples Bastards of Soul.  Recorded at Niles City Sound in Fort Worth in the spring of 2019, the ten cuts on Spinnin’ represent the perfect way to get indoctrinated into the sound that BoS is putting down. Engineered and co-produced by the esteemed Josh Block (who was part of same team that shaped the sound of Leon Bridges’ debut), the album resonates with the pulse of the southern R&B of the past and creates a joyous vibe with original soul joints rooted in a vintage sound.

Bastards Of Soul stormed thunderously on to the DFW scene in the spring of 2016 and created a substantial buzz with their dynamic live set and tight musical chops. Led by the raw soul power of charismatic frontman Chadwick Murray, the veteran Bastards crew put East Dallas Soul on the map as they evolved from a ragged bar band intensely learning the classic ropes, to a confident, well-oiled songwriting machine. The super tight rhythm section of Danny Balis (bass) and Matt Trimble (traps) anchors a groove that’s simultaneously sweet and gritty with Chad Stockslager’s warm keys and Chris Holt’s cool guitar flavors rounding out the sound to soulful perfection.

Eastwood Music Group released the band’s debut vinyl 7” single back in November of 2019 and created a big stir locally when “The Way It Should Be” with it’s cool 70’s Atlantic/Stax feel found its way to KXT’s airwaves. But it was the smooth urban soul of “The Waiting Time” that created the biggest waves, catching folks attention both on the left coast as well as the UK’s hefty soul scene where over half of the single’s initial pressing ended up.
