Hardcore spirit meets hip hop energy from Philly firebrands out to change the game
WORDS: STEPHEN HILL • CHRISTOPHER POSTLEWAITE
“WHEN YOU’RE BLACK and you’re American, you don’t really feel American, you just feel Black,” says Pierce Jordan, vocalist of Philadelphia experimental hardcore band Soul Glo. He’s talking about the frustrations that he sees around him, in his neighbourhood, his family and society at large, that have informed his band’s superb new album, Diaspora Problems.
