First off, this band is made up of a bunch
of 14 and 15 yearolds so you pop the CD in and expect to hear a novelty
act. Much to my surprise what you hear is a first rate funk/jazz/rock fusion
band. No one can accuse these kids of not knowing how to play their instruments;
the musicianship is top notch. This is the kind of CD where you pop it
in, close your eyes and imagine you are at Woodstock or Monterey as this
style isnt heard much these days. I have to admit the lyrics could use
a little work and the only other problem I find here is the production
is a little muddy. But for a self-produced and published CD, thats to
be expected. Just wait until these kids have a record label behind them
willing to foot the bill for a top of the line recording studio and producer
and they will be real contenders. Keep an eye on these kids, they
have what it takes!

I think they suck. All their songs sound the same, boring elevator music. Their boring music and stuck up attitudes don't make for a good product in the end.
