11: The Rise & Fall (& Rise Again?) of the RnB BAND

We all love those classic Funk & Soul Bands of the 70s and 80s, so why exactly did they appear to die out seemingly overnight? This month soul sleuths April and Steve don their investigative hats for an extra nerdy Deep Dive, taking in classic RnB bands like Maze, uncovering some of the last survivors like Mint Condition, through to a new wave of pioneers such as The Roots. What prompted the 70s rise of the great Soul Band, what killed them off...and will we ever see the likes of them again? Dive deep with us as we attempt to answer those all important questions!

We also salute the legendary Chaka Khan as our Root Artist of the month, spin some fresh new sounds from Kaleem Taylor, Reliably Bad and Cleo Sol, and unearth a lost 90s RnB Banger from Darkchild and J Quest!
