Breaks Co-Op

[El_Jeffe]

here we have a band that recorded a highly successful (underground) electronica album in the late 90's then went on a hiatus, where they did all sorts of other projects. came back as a band some years later, under the influence of crosby, stills & nash, marvin gaye, etc & recruited a new soul singer (andy lovegrove) after hearing him sing on a demo he had sent the band. & with a live band that features rio hemopo (who i hope some of you remember from the celebrated trinity roots (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=295793)), how could this not be great? haha

come 2005 & the group release the sound inside, a stripped back, mellow, but memorable conscious folk rock blended with earthy electronica album. raw & emotional. music born from a deep love of life’s magic moments. with fans from elton john to ray lamontagne, the sound inside might just be worth a listen. with a new album hopefully not too far off the horizon

good on ya for checking them out mate. great band that has such widespread appeal, just not enough exposure haha. the myspace player didn't load for me, but does it have the tune "the otherside"?

[wtfmates]

This band is pretty damned good. Thanks for showing them to us.

And, yeah, it has otherside. That was the song that started playing when I visited their page.

[murrich]

Yeah, all the songs on there are off The Sound Inside.

you was born the true pretender
going through your life thinking you must be the only one
but i’ve seen so many like you
take my word for it, they feel the same, they feel the same

so take my hand and i’ll lead you back on to the other side
get yourself into a better place & lift your life
hold your head up high & don’t rely on anyone else
make it easier on yourself & don’t ask why

well, there have been so many changes
flowing through your life but you learn to look the other way
but i know that there’s a better way
take my word for it you’ll feel the same, you’ll feel the same

....the earth puts forth a new life again
green grasses grow & flowers lift their heads
& over all the plain wonder speads of life (of life)
