Hey. I'm about to get infomercial, so prepare yourself. (Imagine a shouting voice and angry people montages) Are you sick and tired of the same old industry fueled, mainstream maintained bullsh*t some call "today's music"? Well I've got great news! You're not alone, and boom, I've got a solution for you! No, not heroin. It's Minneapolis band Culture Cry Wolf. I recently purchase their 6 song EP The Wesely Opus Sessions, and whammy- I was hooked.
Their "Hip hop, Reggae, Punk and Ska" sound has hints of 311 and Sublime, which explains why I am so drawn to them. All the genres come together easily to form a bizarre, yet perfect combination. The smooth flow of reggae-ska and a one-two punch with punk and hip hop... Such a beautfiul idea. And Culture Cry Wolf has truly mastered meshing it all together to create an upbeat, complex sound unique to them.
And on the performance side- "Their lively music neatly captures the energy and atmosphere of a sunny summer afternoon in Minneapolis; their live shows could melt the ice off the roof of any venue."
-Tyler Hakes (abovethegroundmagazine.com) Damn! Sounds like a performance worth going to.
