Souled American Reminisces With Matter

Souled American is touring now behind Sanctions, their first album in 30 years. In 2024, when the band was first re-emerging, they spoke to Matter about their early years and why they released music at a much faster clip in the 80s and 90s. According to the site, “Souled American’s early productivity could be traced at least in part to the fact that Chris Grigoroff was already approaching age 30 before the band signed with Rough Trade, which instilled in him a fear that time was somehow already running short.” Get more of their backstory here.
