British live sensation Big Boss Man has been in business for twenty-five years now, with four studio albums, six 7” singles and spots on countless compilations to their name. Even if the name doesn’t mean anything to you, you’ve probably heard their instrumentals in a movie, television/radio show or commercial before. Nasser Bouzida (Hammond organ), Trevor Harding (guitar), Badger Burgess (bass) and Desmond Rogers (drums) play a hybrid of 60s rhythm & blues, Latin, soul, bongo-fuzz, funk, mod-jazz and garage rock. Their new single Do The Backstroke swings and rocks at the same time, a battle between Hammond and bongo for the dance floor, with heavy groove action and hooks waiting to be sampled by hip-hop artists. B-side Mother’s Earth has a different tension and is more suitable for a chase movie, but is just as powerful proof of what these guys have to offer.
Do The Backstroke b/w Mother’s Earth is out digitally and on 7″ vinyl through Spinout Nuggets.
