funk 'n' soul

Warning To The Cold

seems there have always been hard times. even though most of these songs were recorded over 40 years ago a lot of the sentiment rings as true today as it did then. as i’m sure it did 4 decades before that , and will 4 decades from now unless we give more power to the people.

post-rock

Envious Of The Colour Red

post-rock is a combination of post-punk, progressive rock, ambient, dub, kraut rock, jazz, electronic music, space rock, free and experimental music. it’s what happens when your rock band has been playing a long time, gotten really good, listened to lots of amazing music, gotten bored of the main stream and drifted off into unknown territory.
