Album Notes

Take one part Led Zeppelin, dash with modern guitar bite and baste thoroughly in catchy hooks and riffs. Throw in the groove of Lenny Kravitz and the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. Simmer for hours in the South London street - serve red hot! The result Sabatta.

Sabatta is a four-piece alternative rock band consisting of Yinka Oyewole (vocals, Guitar), Hugo leo(Bass), Oli Clark (drums). The band was formed by Yinka and Stone in February 2005.

Sabatta's music is a mixture of old and new based on classic 70's rock and today's edgy guitar sound coupled with exhilarating vocals and excellent song writing that has chart potential written all over it they call it STREET ROCK!

Sabattas influences are diverse. Yinka for example is a big fan of QOTSA, Metallica and Guns n Roses but also draws upon his Nigerian roots within his guitar style referencing artists such as King, Sunny Ade and lyrically Fela Kuti. Stones rolling bass lines add a groove that recalls the infectious rhythms of Sly and Robbie. This is all thrown into a melting pot of raucous rock guitar riffs, a la Hendrix and more recently Lenny Kravitz. The band has a very wide appeal with elements, which are cutting edge that to fresh ears whilst retaining classic established sounds those more seasoned music lovers will appreciate.

Live they are breathtaking in every sense of the word. They have presence, musicianship and showmanship!

Sabatta's songs range from high-octane rockers such as Now You Know to the stripped down Princess, whilst Still Got Love 4 U is as fine a rock ballad, as you will hear for quite some time. SABATTA is 21st Century ROCK!
