God Talking Soul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
God Talking Soul is an Irish rock band hailing from Strabane, Northern Ireland which Nick McCallan formed in 2000. They were the winners of the 'Hot Press' Band of the Year in 2002 and Budwieser N.I. Unsigned Band Of The Year 2003. After making an impression on the music scene all over Ireland, GTS split and Nick moved to Belfast where he set up a new GTS and recorded the successful E.P. It's Only Funny Because You Said It. He is currently as of early 2008 working on new material and hopes to have the very first god talking soul/Nick McCallan album finished within the year.
He/They have performed with the likes of the Levellers, Paul Heaton, Jerry Fish, Hugh Cornwell, Duke Special and many others.
McCallan has compared his sound to his melting pot of influences. From Joy Division, Doves and Verve to the Smiths and Stone Roses, GTS's sound has been described as very northern and very working class.
