St. Paul & The Broken Bones came together in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2012, an eight-piece Southern soul band built around the voice of Paul Janeway, a singer who can go from a pleading croon to a full-throated roar in the space of a bar. Around him, Browan Lollar's guitar, Jesse Phillips's bass and a horn section of Allen Branstetter on trumpet, Amari Ansari on saxophone and Chad Fisher on trombone lay down grooves that sound like they were cut in a room with the windows open.
Half the City, in 2014, was their calling card, and "Call Me" is old-school soul with sweat on its collar. They didn't stay in the retro lane, though. Young Sick Camellia in 2018 brought "Apollo", with its slinky, disco-tinged strut, and The Alien Coast in 2022, home of "The Last Dance", wandered further out into strange, shadowy textures.
In 2025 they put their own name on an album, and "Sushi and Coca Cola" shows a band that has spent years on the road, touring internationally, and knows exactly how to make a big room move. All told they've released five albums and two EPs, and Janeway's voice is still the thing that stops you in your tracks.
