Ebi Soda is a Jazz Funk quintet based in Brighton. With their unique blend of jazz, funk, and soul, they have captivated audiences with their infectious grooves and energetic performances.
Formed in [year], Ebi Soda quickly gained recognition for their tight musicianship and dynamic sound. Their music draws inspiration from a wide range of genres, including afrobeat, hip-hop, and psychedelic rock.
Known for their electrifying live shows, Ebi Soda has built a loyal fanbase and garnered critical acclaim. Their debut album [album name] showcases their musical prowess and ability to seamlessly fuse different styles together.

Following the aptly-named 'Bedroom Tapes EP' comes 'Ugh', a collection of tunes from Ebi Soda's first ventures into professional recording. The band have made sure to carry their DIY-centric identity with them, creating a beautifully-produced record with the band's raw energy still at the forefront. Explosive drum grooves and a heavy-usage of electronic effects characterise the fluid jams we hear on 'Ugh', with the project's opener 'Ecchi' setting the tone straight away as the song moves from upbeat dance-y rhythms to a nightmare-inducing dub soundscape. The ten-track project was recorded over a year from numerous different sessions, leading it to carry an air of sporadicity to it, with its genre-switching nature leading the band to consider it more of a mixtape than an album. Ebi Soda seeks to surprise and alarm listeners with this project. This bonus edition repress on limited edition yellow vinyl, features unreleased dubs from intergalactic sound dealer Ash Walker, who meets Ebi Soda in the echo chamber.
