About Me


We are a Detroit based funk/ rock/ hip-hop group founded in 1997. Currently we have recorded & released five full-length CD's, one music video and three singles! All of this we have made possible with absolutely no help from any such record company. Throughout our musical path we have also had the great opportunity to perform on great stages across the USA with many awesome local and national acts.
Although over the years the line up has changed dramatically, we have only found ourselves working with top-notch musicians who share the same passion for the music we have been creating. For a more in depth look at how this band came to be please visit our home web site and check out the "Official Story" .

1997- Straight Outta' Commerce
