“And through the haze there shone a white light, and from that light played sweet sweet music... and to that music... We got high. Much love to the Hemps” – Paolo Nutini

“The Hempolics are the best band in the UK – but nobody knows it yet...” - Maxi Jazz (Faithless)

“Real vintage lo fi reggae inspired soul music for the 21st century city scape people” – DJ Vadim

“Great summer vibes. Puts a smile on my face. And amazing live too!” - Eliza Doolittle

“The best thing I’ve heard in ages” La Roux

The Hempolics are out to put those organic rootsy vibes back into music; with their fat radio-friendly hooks, bumping soundsystem bass and a wanderlusty, ineffably real sound all of their own...

Over years of recording top international talent The Hempolics enigmatic leader, Grippa Laybourne, has been carefully honing his own masterpiece and selecting a gang armed and dangerous enough to execute it. The Hempolics caused an instant stir with their single Serious which hit number one in the UK reggae charts and was playlisted on Massive Attack’s BBC takeover.

New debut album ‘Kiss, Cuddle & Torture Vol. 1’ has seen the band erupt with three singles playlisted by BBC6 Music and support from Steve Lamacq, Toddla T, Rodigan & Don Letts to name a few. Liz Kershaw selected the album on her ‘all killer, no filler’ best albums of the past 30 years and invited the band to play her BBC anniversary show after hearing them smash a live session for Lauren Laverne on BBC6. It’s not just on radio that the band have been breaking with album track ‘Samurai’ synced to the worldwide trailer for Coen Brothers and George Clooney film ‘Hail, Caesar!’

Sounding like the i-pod of the attention-deficit generation and swelled by guest appearances from various international talents The Hempolics have a storm brewing that promises to tear up the UK music scene. Recording underground style throughout the bedrooms and home studios of the band The Hempolics have created an infectious mash-up of Reggae, Electro, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rock and Pop. Although the weather out might be dull London-side it’s strictly sunshine vibes, resplendent with huge hooks and festival friendly choruses. These are tunes that people will be bopping to across festivals, clubs and car journeys for years to come.

The Hempolics pedigree recordings are combined with tight as a tick live performances – honed at their own underground club night in London – and they are amongst the up and coming acts to watch. They are the brainchild of veteran sound engineer and record producer Grippa Laybourne. Core vocalists, the empyreal Nubiya and devilishly dashing Dandelion, combine together impeccably, with Dan’s brother Harry sometimes stepping in with his own smooth tones. The rest of the band comprises of deft bassist Lorenzo, Leon King who ranks up there with the finest Reggae/Dub guitarists around and the exceptional Craig Boorman on drums.

Take your eye off The Hempolics at your peril. Ital business!

Bio:
El diablo creó la cumbia para que todos bailemos, para que nos dejemos llevar por la tentación de ver los cuerpos moverse y unirse en un eterno ritual de amor y ritmo.

SONIDO SATANÁS, como enviado de las tinieblas, como salido del mismisimo averno, surgió para hacer de cualquier pista, una fiesta de pecado.

Del “Sonidero Chilango” tomó la forma, pero la revolcó con piropos y lamentos, que hacen recorder a aquella mujer traicionera, o incluso que la invitan a mover su lindo culo.

SUPERSUAVICREMA y PINPÓN, encargados de las cadencias, la música ritual, la cumbia y hasta una que otra rola del General, con su toque tan duro de hacerlos a todos bailar. GRONCHO, con gritos mezcalosos, alebresta a la gente con demoniaca poesía.

Sonido Satanás nace en Julio del 2011, en la ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco. Tiene el placer
de haber pisado escenarios de estilos tan variados que sorprendería a cualquiera.
Presentaciones en vivo, entre conciertos de rock, reggae, hiphop, antros fresas, bailes
callejeros, tugurios de mala muerte, bodas, bautizos, bares de la ciudad, además de
presentaciones en conciertos masivos en diferentes puntos de México.

Con un EP en su haber, titulado “BARRIO DE MIS AMORES”, y dos videoclips oficiales (SANTA TERE y MARISOL), Sonido Satanás ya se encuentra en el gusto del publico por su chispa, energía y lo irreverente de sus temas y la actitud de sus integrantes.
