THE INCITERS play Northern Soul music. Northern Soul takes the Motown/Stax ethic but adds a stronger back-beat with more adventurous production, and THE INCITERS continue this tradition in grand style. With 11 members wielding drums, bass, guitars, a full horn section, and three female vocalists, THE INCITERS have no problem filling a room with the powerful sound of soul. The three vocalists lead the band through finely crafted original songs as well as traditional soul music that will get you out of your seat and start to dance. THE INCITERS first formed back in 1995 and had a successful 10-year run before breaking up in 2005 leaving behind a massive following in Europe that demanded their return year after year. In 2009, they got their wish as original member / bandleader Rick Kendrick went to work putting the band back together. THE INCITERS reformed with some new, younger faces and picked up right where they left off. Right after the group reformed, they embarked on another successful European tour, released a teaser 7" single on Scorcha in Germany, and then got to work to record their comeback album SOUL CLAP!
The Inciters had some time between their shows in 2015. So they booked three days at YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! STUDIO in Hamburg to record a single for a German release. The Inciters have heard great things about this studio and its ability to get an authentic 60's feel. Micky Lee, the Inciters' guitar player, wrote and sang this song. He says this about it, "My girlfriend was moving across the country to go to school so I wrote a song about how I was feeling. I read the lyrics to her when they were finished and she almost cried so I knew it was good. The music came naturally afterwards. Now we're married so I guess the song worked." The Inciters also came up with the idea of recording the song in German for the B-Side and to make it somewhat different to have a female vocal in it, which was sung by Sabi Kendrick.
