Press

““Drunksouls easily combines reggae and rock elements together leading me to believe the guys were from So Cal. I could not have been more far off as the band comes all the way from Marselle, France.” ”

— Mike Hardaker , MOUNTAIN WEEKLY NEWS(USA)

““It’s been said that the French don’t do rock well, but they sure can do reggae. Revolution is the latest and best proof: a vibrant, intelligent, edgy, musically inventive album by a group called Drunk Souls. Consider it a reggae updating of Talking Heads as influenced by Manu Chao, touched by the mordancy of Tom Waits. You’ll love it.” ”

— Ted Boothroyd, JAHWORKS Magazine (USA)

““And so it goes throughout Revolution: informed opinions on the state of human relationships expressed though multi-dimensional lyrics and creative musical settings, over as strong and varied a bunch of reggae rhythms as you could want. The disc even comes encased behind a photomontage that evokes the grim but lively paintings of Jerome Bosch; it’s clearly an intentional reference, and wholly appropriate for such a powerful, provocative album.” ”

— Ted Boothroyd , JAHWORKS Magazine (USA)

““Despite the band's name, Drunk Souls are never overbearing or out of control here; to the contrary Revolution is full of fun sounds with a sophisticated edge.””

— ANTIMUSIC(USA)

““Revolution is what we’ve all been waiting for. It’s a polished sounding musical production from start to finish served up hot with great playing, solid writing and is fun filled musical experience akin to a party that’s out of control. It’s definitely a musical production that gives us a fresh glimpse at a hot new band from overseas and takes us back a few years – before everything started sounding like – well like everything else.” ”

— SKOPE MAG (USA)

““Their new album “Revolution” shows a mix of jangle pop and brass added to funk and disco, and displays their diverse background, which they’ve brought together to create a inimitable sound. DrunkSouls has been put into the reggae rock category, but definitely has the ability to groove. “ ”

— DARLINGDORK (USA)

"You might ask what do the French know about a good Revolution? Well apparently allot because Revolution by Drunk Souls is the perfect CD to spin at a beach party gone wild. It's perfect on days you want a colorful and fun dance production to brighten up your day. Drunk Souls is a force to be reckoned with and they really do deserve credit for bringing all this together. The CD presents many musical flavors all rolled up into one fun-tastic CD. This latest release delivers on many levels - solid session players, amazing songs, heart felt vocals and party-type vibe. Drunk Souls will suck you in like a powerful drug and refuse to let go. The Bottom Line One shouldn't underestimate a good French Revolution every now and then."

— INDIESHARK (USA)

"I woke up this morning with what felt like a hangover. Dreamt that I hung out all night with 4 crazy French dudes. Their music sounded like a cross between The Gorillaz, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Jason Mraz. We were up all night singing songs about starting a musical revolution, supemarkets, lust….wait….this wasn’t a dream at all it’s the latest release by French band Drunk Souls entitled Revolution It’s truly amazing what these guys have done on this latest release. I’ve never had a CD suck me in quite like this one did – refusing to let go and calling me back after it was complete..."

— ROCK N ROLL VIEW (USA)

““The vocal abilities of DjaM fill the sonic space quite well and mesh well with this catalogue of music perfectly. All band members play their parts extremely well song for song and note for note.” ”

— INDIE MUSIC DIGEST, Cyrus Rhodes, Revolution Review (USA), “The vocal abilities of

““That's the sound that is absolutely missing in today's Corporate-Idol infused, brainwashing scene.” ”

— RTV-BUZZ, New York City Rock Indie Blog, Revolution Review

““Without a doubt, this album will appeal to very many people because it is unique, yet familiar in some respects. “ ”

— INFOBARREL (USA), Revolution Review

““What do we love about this band? They are creating a unique sound with little to no borders. Trending between reggae and rock this group is leading the frontier in a new innovative genre fueled by culture & the desire to make feel the raw emotion behind the music. Don’t miss these guys – check it!” ”

— The Daily Consciousness (CANADA)

““Who knew that a French Reggae punk rock band could be this talented – or that this type of band even existed in the first place? But not only are their songs energetic and lively, making you want to get up and dance, but they deliver a provocative, intellectual message that encourages you to not casually listen, but to instead soak up each song’s insightful lyrics as well.” ”

— Alec Cunningham,, Revolution Review

““I thought “here’s another reggae spinoff band.” I was quite judgmental, but I kept listening and the album turned into something else that was very interesting. They are more of a Gorillaz or Manu Chao type band with strange effects and whisper talk imbedded in the tracks.” ”

— Sergeant Sparrow Records, Revolution Review, Revolution Review

“« The thing about this release that’s so interesting is it’s willingness to invoke complete chaos on one hand and engage the pop machine on the other – it’s a real life transmission without a filter, unlike artists like Anti-Flag or Rage Against the Machine, who are all politics all the time.” ”

— Rock is Rock , Revolution review

“« Pain of life: Really great vibe and feel going on. Very funkyand strong. Confident delivery of vocals. This has potential for cross market appeal. » ”

— BILLBOARD

““On Verra Plus Tard” by Drunksouls is an outstanding funk/reggae rock collection”

— Xavier.P, RADIOINDY REVIEWS

“Sur une base reggae/rock, les marseillais signent ici un premier album qui frise la perfection. Perfection dans la voix lead d’abord, capable d’épouser des registres reggae, soul, rock ou ragga… avec une facilité déconcertante”

— M.Bescond, NOUVELLE VAGUE

“These guys are great. Just one of the up and coming bands on the European reggae scene,”

— King Rhino, TRI STATE REGGAE

“Good job. This is the best conclusion I had after listenning Drunksouls’ album”

— Galaktycznyzwiad

“ Yes people France has more to offer than just croissants, wine, and cuisine. They have reggae, and good raggae at that. There songs are almost a perfect combination of the Police, Bob Marley, and the Specials”

— LAWN GNOME DEATH MARCH

“L'album autoproduit des DRUNKSOULS On verra plus tard est sans aucun doute la bonne surpirse du printemps musical..”

— F.Izoletta, ZIBELINE

“L'allemand PATRICE et les australiens de CAT EMPIRE ne renieraient certainement pas.Du rock n reggae de qualité comme on l'aime.”

— Julien Deverre, LONGUEUR D ONDES

“Assoiffés de bon son, voilà qui devrait vous rassasier”

— M.Bescond, NOUVELLE VAGUE

Concert et spectacle acrobatique Sujets au vertige s'abstenir ! Arcoop se transforme pour un soir en arène moderne. Sur cinq étages, vous profiterez d'une scène à 360 degrés pour assister à une performance de haute voltige où six «slackeurs», ces funambules de l'extrême, se relaieront en équilibre sur leurs sangles tendues à plus de 15 mètres de hauteur pour vous en mettre plein les yeux. Vos oreilles ne seront pas en reste, les Genevois de Pouffy-Poup s'occuperont de l'échauffement avec leur ska déjanté ! Une bonne occasion de faire découvrir les chansons de leur dernier album sorti en 2012. En tête d'affiche, Drunksouls vous fera littéralement vibrer. Le groupe marseillais distille un patchwork harmonieux, des textes issus de l'esprit punk, des riffs de la culture rock et quelques gouttes au rythme du reggae que le milieu de la «slackline» apprécie tout particulièrement. Sa chanson Human race compte plus de 1,2 million de vues sur YouTube et plus de 5 millions de vues pour le film sportif I believe I can fly - The flight of the Frenchies , avec sept chansons de Drunksouls en bo.
