Vintage Trouble use expert songwriting to forge a connection between gritty, Motown-era soul and shiny, club-friendly contemporary pop. With one foot in the sweet, sincere past and another in the maximalist present, they churn out the kind of studied but brash rock ‘n' soul that nearly everyone can agree on. The live-performance electricity of the band's early releases—as heard on fan faves like the hard-rocking "Blues Hand Me Down," from their 2011 debut, and sensual "Doin' What You Were Doin'"—gives way in their later material to the studio-polished "Can't Stop Rollin'" and "Do Me Right," songs that brim with disco-slick swagger.
