Have you been turned on to The Heavy's Great Vengeance and Furiouos Fire? If not, I highly recommend you check it out. Probably my favorite debut album of the past 5 years or so.
ReplyDeleteSorry to report I'm not too crazy about the couple of Prince meets De La Soul tunes up on their My Space page. Normally I would like a band that sounds like that combination, but something just wasn't catching me about this group. Thanks for the recommendation anyway.
