CD REVIEW - TIME OFF MAGAZINE FEB 27 '08 - RIDICULOUS RECORDS
Confident, assured and brilliant, it is difficult to believe that 'De Man Da Funk' is Brisbane eight-piece Funknuckles debut EP. Drawing upon various elements of reggae, hip-hop, world music and rock, 'De Man Da Funk's' ultinate success is as a funk recording. Tracks like opener 'Be There' and the title track are master-classes in funk composition, with Bootsy-esque bass-lines, scratching guitars and rock solid songwriting developing incredible grooves. As the EP progresses, the band explores their sound to consistent success with flutes, woodblocks and orgasmic guitar solos, making for a varied and festive recording. Funknuckles' album is due this year. Everyone should get it. (MO'N)
