1er album du Rocksteady Sporting Club
<p>After four 7" singles, the Rocksteady Sporting Club goes to LP, with the recording of its first full length album.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/539937/rsc1-1536165750.png" width="100%" /></p>
<p>8 brand new songs, marking a turning-point in RSC’s sound: while ska and rocksteady influences are still present, rock and soul tunes assert themselves, as well as the voice of Manou, the lead female singer. All this leads to a less « vintage » but much more « direct » and contemporary sound, closer to the band’s current development, after 15 years of experience.</p>
<p>Born on an island (Reunion Island, between Madagascar and Mauritius), the Rocksteady Sporting Club has always been centered around its charismatic singer, Manou, a character of its own. So « Holy Soul - Backyard Diaries » will be, fairly enough, a kind of concept album. A logbook run by a fictional character, combining lives of real-life figures and Manou herself. The artwork of the album is created by <a href="http://www.instagram.com/clelll/" target="_blank">CLEIII</a>, an artist hailing from Reunion Island.</p>

<p>After a first French tour in 2016, the RSC will present « Holy Soul - Backyard Diaries » on stage starting from march 2019.</p>
