Artist description Live and looped drums power the songs along,coupled with inyourface funky (and occasionally jazzy)bass lines, layered guitars, synths and samples adding depth and texture - the whole thing finished off with a three-pronged vocal attack. Funky, adventurous, laid back, completely unique and yet welcoming and strangely familiar.Something for everyone!
