Soccx is a musical pop group that is becoming more and more popular in Germany. What makes this group interesting is that their songs are all in English, and the members of the group are American women, primarily from the California area. This type of thing apparently happens a lot, but I still find it pretty cool that an American group could be virtually unknown in the United States and yet be having big concerts in Germany. They even released a pretty serious music video. And although it was hard to get much info from their website since it is in German, it looks like their next stop is going to be France.
Soccx has some pretty good songs, assuming you are a fan of upbeat pop. Most of their songs tend to be about partying and having a good time. I particularly liked The Battle and Scream Out Loud.
It’s clear that a lot of effort went into creating the group’s overall image. I’m not sure of the group’s popularity in Germany, but from simply looking at their website and the published material and pictures of Soccx, it would appear as if the members of Soccx are pop superstars, whether or not they actually are yet. So whoever was in charge of designing the group’s image did a pretty good job.
The producers must have also put a lot of effort into finding the right girls to be members of Soccx. From the few videos I was able to see, it looks like the members of Soccx don’t just sing well, they also have some pretty cool dance-moves involving flips and all kinds of crazy things. It’s nice to see a group that doesn’t leave all the hard dancing to the backup dancers.
If you want to check out more about Soccx, you can go to their Myspace page or their official site. Although both websites are in German, you can get an idea of their music and see their music video. I’m not sure how to buy their MP3s, but once I find out I’ll post it here.
Edit(12-9-07): You can preview the songs in their album “Hold On” by going to http://www.amazon.fr/Hold-Soccx/dp/B000XMZKEG/. Thanks to Noreen from Soccx for this info.
By the way, sorry for not posting any new reviews in such a long time, but law school exams are coming up and things have been pretty crazy. Once this semester is over I’ll definitely start posting again.

And to fill in the blanks for you, we hit top ten twice in Germany with our 2 singles “From Dusk ’till Dawn” and “Scream Out Loud.” And we just released “Scream Out Loud” and our album “Hold On” in France. “Scream Out Loud” sold out on amazon.fr so we hope this is parallel to what’s going on in the stores too in France but we will know our first chart position next week. If you want to preview our whole album u can go here:

Hey Noreen thanks for the info. I’m from just outside New York City, but my blog is directed towards anyone who wants to find out about cool bands and singers. As far as how I heard about Soccx, I think one of your songs was playing on someone’s myspace profile a while back, and I thought it was pretty cool. Good luck with everything in France!
