as it should be, if there was ever a group destined for the discount bin
it has to be these guys...

Didn't really know what to expect and it turned out to be amazing!

Well I've seen them live here in NYC and I've almost NEVER hated a band
SO MUCH.. those guys are a bunch of talentless hacks trying to glom on
to an existing scene created by talented local groups such as Groove
Collective, Brooklyn Funk Essentials and Abstract Truth. As a certified
EWF fan, their cover of Shining Star was IMHO a travesty... absolute
trash! It's another example of how they can't come up with anything
original.

feeling extremely opinionated about this band,
