Yow this is good! This SF-based band combines rock, Latin, funk, hip-hop, R & B, and reggae (plus about a dozen other sounds) – wraps the whole thing up in a wildly energetic mix of vocals, horns, and percussion, and delivers a hot summertime party jam that nevertheless has something serious to say politically and socially. *1. Fun, fast, and funky. Oh yeah. 2. Deliciously relaxed reggae/pop/doo-wop love thing. 3. A sexy vocal/horn groove mid/uptempo & smooth. 4. A slick & groovy cover of “I’m Your Puppet.” *5. Fast, driving dance w/sharp horns & cool vocals. 6. Catchy uptempo fun but with an FCC no-no in there. *7. Funky and political. Think they don’t like Bush? 8. Hip-hop/turntables/horns/perc. Driving anthem for Latino identity. 9. A relaxed but funky & way cool dance w/cha-cha lounge overtones. *10. Reggae/funk commentary on police brutality & racism. 11. An uptempo Latin jam w/hip-hop lyrics. 12. A big vocal/perc/guitar blend. Strong, mid/uptempo. 6/2004 | ||
