A month ago, we announced the signing of Chicago post-punk soul outfit JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound. Now, fresh off performances opening for Robert Plant, Fitz and The Tantrums and a featured appearance at the Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival, we’d like to announce the details of their forthcoming debut Bloodshot Records album, Want More, available to the public via CD/LP/digitally on October 25.
Want More – JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound’s (JCBUS for brevity’s sake) first full-length in two years – is an 11-song, sweat-filled house party featuring the band’s pure and uncompromising soul music that ranges from dance-punk booty shakers and garage rock thumps, to upbeat on-the-one workouts and aching R&B ballads. Below is a listing of the track titles, album art, and a slew of new tour dates.
