2026 will start with another highlight: Soul Survivors are heading to Spain.
We will play in Bilbao, Santander, A Coruña and Piloña Asturia. Check out our gig section.
¡Hasta la vista!


Almost three years ago, we got together, played our first gigs, tasting the fun of it all. We found out that good soul music at this day and age still touches people of all ages, not only our own tender hearts...
After a jump start freshly out of the pandemical lockdowns, we soon started writing our own songs and merged them with the regular covers. Fortunately our originals 'survived' the live sets and without hesitation, the aim for a Soul Survivors originals album started to materialize. Naturally, our homebase Rocksupplies Amsterdam became the birth place of it all!
With the album title "The Road Ahead" Soul Survivors is marking its beginning as well as a sublime result of dedication and hard work! We have put our heart and soul into this.
Keep following us on Instagram for updates and news.
Besides Spotify, we are also putting it out on Vinyl which you can buy at your favorite record store.
Also a limited amount of CD's are available as well!
WIth this album release, a promo tour is going on as we speak, look below at our gig list. And be sure to check us out on our socials!


THE PRESS ON 'THE ROAD AHEAD'
Blues Town Music NL - Tom Wouters: “On The Road Ahead, The Soul Survivors manage to maintain their live sound, which undoubtedly ensures an exciting evening of soul music everywhere. Just listening to the album made the flower pots on my windowsill dance.”
Soulandjazzandfunk UK - Bill Buckley : (…) it’s a spirited 10 tracker that betrays the band’s love of real soul’s golden age. The LP is topped and tailed by two big, beefy, brassy cuts. The opener ‘Here We Go Again’ and the closer ‘Love’ are both driven by a classic Northern soul tempo – quite frantic. The album’s other cuts are a little less wild and indeed that helps bring variety and interest, though, throughout, the brash, brass section plays a big part.
Echoes Magazine UK - Chris Wells: “Guitarist Max de Kok and bassman Dimitri Gelens certainly have the knack and whoever’s playing the Rhodes knows what he’s doing too, as you’ll hear on the grooving title song.”
Bluesmagazine NL – Jan Wolf: “Het is een eerste album waar menig artiest enkel van zal kunnen dromen en van een niveau dat menigeen nooit zal bereiken.”
Keys and Chords BE - Philip Verhaege: “The opener ‘Here We Go Again’ and the closer ‘Love’ are driven by that classic Northern soul tempo. Everything in between is heavenly and beautiful soul.”
LA on Lock USA - Travis Erwin (on You're The One): “A Blues infused Retro Soul track probably isn’t what you are expecting to hear coming out of the Netherlands. Though that is exactly what Soul Survivors gives us.”
Neuen Westfälischen Zeitung DE - Edwin Rekate (review of concert Farmhouse Harsewinkel: “Die Sieben Amsterdamer Ausnahme-Musiker, die am wochenende beim Open-Air-Konzert am Farmhouse-Jazzclub das Auditorium locker zum Ausflippen bringen.”
Uncut original soul straight from the heart
When during corona, seven Amsterdam musicians immersed themselves in their favorite soul and rhythm & blues songs, Soul Survivors was born. With a setlist packed with soul classics, they quickly built a reputation on Amsterdam's reopened live music scene. The band then used this musical suitcase to write powerful songs of their own. Soul Survivors gave dazzling performances in many Dutch clubs and big jazz and blues festivals last season, The band has also gained a foothold in Germany, UK and Spain in a short time with a growing fan base and performances.
In 2024, Soul Survivors released their debut album The Road Ahead with ten original soul stompers. The compositions are rooted in the classics from the 60s and 70s by Motown and Stax, but also have a modern soul vibe. The album received raving reviews from the soul & blues scene at home and abroad. The band is now relentlessly working on new material in their own Rock Supplies studios, to release and incorporate into their live set. Singer Remko Spaaij goes all out, stirring up and captivating the audience with his dark soul voice and energetic performance. The band alternates steamy soul songs with blues and rock bangers, think of how the Blues Brothers did it. Soul Survivors gonna take you higher, higher, higher!
