Savin iLL - BIO
The 2 emcees and the female vocalist are backed by guitar, bass, drums, and keys. Seven different styles shaken in a hat in front of a blindfolded audience, reaching in to see what might be pulled out. The poetic journey and report on all that surrounds us, the smoothed out funky-ass jams sure to have the dance floor packed, the rock out bang your head off the wall anthems, the chilled out thought provoking retreat from complacency, the sexy take your clothes off on the spot 4 minute long orgasm. The result of 7 different flavors thrown into a crock pot and left to simmer since early 2003. The band named after the area they met and first practiced in… Savin iLL.
Savin iLL has opened for Cappadonna and Inspectah Deck of the Wu Tang Clan, as well as the legendary Kool G Rap. Their song “Homesick” took home the 2005 Great American Song Honor Award. The band was nominated for best live band at Boston's M.I.C. Hip Hop Awards and nabbed glowing reviews from the arts editors of Boston College and UMASS Boston. Savin iLL boasts a huge fan base for an indie act, with over 54,000 friends on MySpace, and has performed all over Boston and other areas of New England and New York.
The follow up to their fan favorite debut album is scheduled for a February 2008 Release.
Reviews
"The most notable aspect of Savin iLL's unique sound is the way they are able to blend different types of music into something new without sounding cliché or copycat.In sum, Savin iLL successfully serves up some serious hip-hop fusion. In blending alternative rock with soulful vocals, hip-hop lyrics and some really jazzy instrumentals, this band really has created their own distinctive sound that is both marketable and sustainable. The result is a nice blend of familiar sounds and smooth rock guitar riffs that allow the emcees to ride the rhythm in a very funky way. This, the second outing by Savin iLL, is a great listen. It is polished and professional, like a band that knows exactly where they are going with their sound.For those who love original local bands, this disc is definitely worth checking out. It is not your ordinary hip-hop, and, for this reason, It is refreshing. Savin iLL's sound is truly matchless, funky and very danceable." - Rosemary L. Finley, UMASS Boston's newspaper "MassMedia" arts editor
"Savin iLL produces some genuinely good songs that can stand on their own even without the impressive and intelligent rapping. It is funk, jazz, hip hop, and even traces of rock blended seamlessly into exciting compositions that can make you think just as easily as make you dance. It's been a long time since a group like this has come along. And it will probably be an even longer time before we see another band quite like it." -Kevin Sawyer, Boston College's newspaper "The Heights" arts editor
“Savin iLL forces the reviewer to use his vocabulary since you can’t really compare them to anything else.” – A&R Select
