Soul Broker was formed in the East Bay area of California in late 2004. Reverend Harlem Watts & Kristian Rock--Former members of the well-known hardcore band Kills the Pain--teamed with guitarists and neighbors Keith Manners & Monty Nelson. Although the yet unnamed band had a vocalist and some tunes written, the chemistry was not complete. On Halloween 2004 StonedMasons Vocalist Mike Billings met with the quartet and within a few weeks was asked to join the band.
Since that day, Soul Broker has gained a loyal following of dedicated rock fans throughout Northern California. Playing such legendary local spots as The Covered Wagon in San Francisco (now called Annie’s) and Berkeley’s Blake’s on Telegraph, Soul Broker has never failed to arouse a crowd into frenzy of metal euphoria.
Soul Broker’s Debut Album Soul For Sale crosses musical boundaries, racial boundaries and social boundaries covering everything from Punk to metal to thrash in an amalgamation that includes five very different people from very different social and ethnic backgrounds. “Just look at us, we’re like the United Nations of Rock,†says the band. “When you take a mix like this—a Native American, a Mexican, a Jew, an African American, and an Irish guy—your bound to come up with something totally different than the norm.â€
Although so seemingly different from each other in so many ways, the one thing that brings this band together is the music. Their musical influences range from Danzig and The Misfits to Clutch, Fu Manchu and Kyuss; early metal gods like Zeppelin and Sabbath play their important roles as well.
