Pure distillations of soulful rock are hard-wrought these days. Many venture forward but few arrive. The Sunday Sinners are soul rockers true and proper and they don’t falter along the wily path to expressive R&B-inflected rock ‘n’ roll. But perhaps what defines The Sunday Sinners is that they don’t make it look easy, showing us the gut-wrenching, muscle-twitching, sweat-wracked contortions behind every riff, wail and backbeat. The Sinners give us the labour in their labour of love – and in turn we love them for it.
