“Bastards of Soul offers a deep dive into the heart of an electrifying Texas band on the cusp of international recognition,” a description of the documentary reads. “As they navigate their burgeoning success with spellbinding live performances, a global pandemic and the sudden tragic loss of their unexpected frontman, Chadwick Murray, cast a somber shadow. Having made his mark primarily as a bass player, Chadwick’s transition to lead singer was captivating, revealing a dynamism that few could have predicted.

“This film provides an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the band’s final recording sessions, their lives, and the electric energy they command on stage. The audience is granted an intimate fly-on-the-wall perspective, particularly during the production of their last studio album, Give It Right Back. These raw, unfiltered moments are juxtaposed with electrifying live concert footage, showcasing a band in its prime, exuding passion and mastery of live Soul performance.

“Yet, it’s not just a story of loss. It’s a tribute to the enduring spirit of a man who was able to cement his legacy before his unexpected passing. Bastards Of Soul, through trials and heartaches, stands as a testament to the power of music to heal, unite, and immortalize. With his infectious laugh and boundless energy, Chadwick may have left the stage, but his voice continues to resonate.”
