Major and the Monbacks have infused the party energy of southern soul, blending old-school style with pop melodies, ska, and soul horn riffs. This nine-piece band with four vocalists, a hypeman, and horn section wields an original blend of retro R&B, ’60s twang, and new-school garage pop jams. They’ve reached “monback mania” status in their hometown and are redefining the “Norfolk Sound.” The band has been nominated two years in a row as the best indie-pop band in Hampton Roads.
