Initially intrigued by their name 'That Driving Beat', that we
felt 'must' have had something to do with Willie Mitchell's Northern Soul
classic of the same name, we tentatively opened this new single up half
expecting it to be Northern oriented and, right enough, they derived their
name from the 1965 B side much loved by the scene with a name synonymous
with the genre!
That Driving Beat is a 12-piece soul band from Stockholm fronted by
three female singers, apparently known for digging up, they claim
forgotten, NS tunes but purists may disagree. They have recorded songs
such as "The Right Track" (Billy Butler), A Little Togetherness"
(Younghearts), "Everybody Dance Now" (Soul City) for starters which are 'hardly' forgotten, some may even say
overplayed?
Whilst we wouldn't classify their new single "Come Back Home" as NS, it has a throwback sound. It's an original song co-written
by Ulrika Orre (lead singer on it) with Mikael Ledin.
They sound more like a 60 garage band than a soul band and, to be fair, they do state that they play Garage, Freakbeat & Northern Soul.
