Sounds Like: A molten (but not searing) flash of erupting involuntary spastic motion carried from your brain to your feet. Spikes of pulsating sensations entering your eardrums, melting the remainder of your mind and rendering you powerless to the dance. The sounds of babies crying, mothers farting, scraping of knees and burning of lard in a skillet, wrapped up and encompassed in that which is the ULTIMATE funk package thou and thou, till time ends. A lightning bolt of pure soul sent to your stomach courtesy of the x-treme multitude of rhythmic fire sent forth from drum, guitar, bass, and vocal. Capable of making even the whitest of white shake like a proud mongoose after its kill.
Type of Label: None
