Toronto, ON - Juno-award winning Bedouin Soundclash released the much anticipated follow-up to hit record Sounding A Mosaic, August 21, 2007. Titled Street Gospels, the album features the single "1259 Lullaby" which appeared on the hit series GREY'S ANATOMY as well as the infectious first single "Walls Fall Down".
Recorded in Toronto and New York, the band once again called in the talents of legendary Punk-Reggae bass player Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains to produce Street Gospels. The band also brought in Money Mark (The Beastie Boys) on keys, Wade MacNeil (Alexisonfire, Black Lungs) on vocals/guitar and the legendary Vernon Buckley vocalist of The Maytones, all lending their unique flavour to the album and helping to create the most diverse and grassroots Bedouin Soundclash record to date.
Bedouin Soundclash formed in 2001, naming the group after Israeli fusion artist/producer Badawi's 1996 release - which pays homage to nomadic Arabic poet tribe the Bedouins. Unlike most musicians who try to mimic their musical idols, Bedouin Soundclash forges their own musical path creating music embodying each member's personal and diverse musical preferences, creating their own innovative fusion of Reggae, Rock, Punk and Soul.
2005's sophomore release Sounding A Mosaic exploded onto commercial radio and video stations across Canada with the hit single "When The Night Feels My Song". The song's massive rise to popularity started when the track was featured in a national Zeller's commercial and ended up scoring the band a #1 video on MuchMusic, the #2 most played track at Canadian radio, "Best New Group or Solo Artist (CHR)" award at the Canadian Radio Music Awards 2006, and a JUNO for "New Group of The Year" in 2006!
With sold out shows across Canada, and performances all over the world including the renowned Leeds and Reading Festivals, London's V-Fest, and PuklePop, Bedouin Soundclash brings their soulful, energetic live show around the world once again this year.
