Recording in Medway and Paris,The Effectives mix gritty, soulful vocals in equal measure, backed by wild guitar, frenetic bass and snap-on-the-money drumming, taking their cues from surf, garage, Northern soul, post-punk and 60s r’n’b.

The Effectives have been grabbing headlines at lots of garage, soul and mod events this summer, and have had great reviews in magazines such as Shindig and Double-Breasted.

They appear regularly in Scootering magazine, who recently ran a 2 page feature dedicated solely to them, and described them as ‘a band that you MUST see’. What can we say, another classic, hard working band, another worthy addition to the ever growing 208 rosta.
