When the brassy, British funk/R&B band formed in Leeds in 1999, they were outsiders. With the current soul revival, though, the band has a good deal more company, and suddenly the band finds itself in demand even outside of niche circles and a jam scene always on the lookout for something to groove to. The group’s latest album, Plug & Play, is all sweaty funk, tight grooves and rapid drum breaks that the late James Brown would approve of.
The New Mastersounds w/ The Brimleys
