Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 As some of you know, I've recently ventured off into to the music biz, the journalisim part of it at least, and am heading the charge to take an all hip-hop mag for up & coming artists and expanding it's vision to a broader range of music. Right now I'm in contact with a european band who has taken a little bit of americana and mixed it with dubstep while not comprimising their european sound, ad a Tom Waitsian feel and you have Yes Sir Boss. I can't help but think these guys may be on their way to creating their own genre and wanted to get your take. The name of the band is Yes Sir Boss and here is their site http://www.yessirboss.com/Index2.html The tracks are diverse so you may want to play a couple to get a feel for them... "Will you ever learn" may showcase their talents more than any other track they offer. BTW the magazine I'm working for is Get'em magazine.
Sanners Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Not my cup of tea. The lead vocalist is trying too hard, and his voice is way too monochromatic. New genre? Are you serious.
Beerball Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 BTW the magazine I'm working for is Get'em magazine. I fear I am not in your preferred demographic. Let me know when you have something that is 'listenable' to a one eared cranky old fart.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 New genre? Are you serious. Quite, maybe it isn't as evident in the samples on the site but the CD I have is dubstep, klezmir and rockabilly. I can't think of too many bands using this formula nor would I be able to classify the sound under any of the aforementioned labels, and to say alternative rock punk or anything else is a copout IMO.

Love the music, dislike the lead singer's voice enough that it's a distraction.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 so, nothing for one eared geezers? One of my fav's BB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSwJlv0Bljg
Beerball Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 One of my fav's BB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSwJlv0Bljg Much as I like Springsteen...that's THE BOSS.
Fan in San Diego Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 I liked it, has a latin flavor to it. I can see some love intrigue movie using the songs as part of their soundtrack.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 Much as I like Springsteen...that's THE BOSS. Since you brought it up here is some Springsteen not many know that he wrote that song one of a few instances IMO where the cover outdid the original.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 Another instance where the cover was better than the original, imo at least- it's hard to outdo Zepplin but I love this version.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 I liked it, has a latin flavor to it. I can see some love intrigue movie using the songs as part of their soundtrack. I agree, actually it reminds me of how "Little Miss Sunshine" popularized Devotcka- and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbZM6ZSlvvY
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 Also if you guys like any of the above music then let me introduce you to Gogol Bordello, one of my favorite bands. They have a new album coming out and will be on Jimmy Fallon tonight. and
Sanners Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Love the music, dislike the lead singer's voice enough that it's a distraction. I agree the singer is horrendous. Music is interesting, but that guy royally sucks.
kegtapr Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Sounds like Mighty Mighty Bosstones meets Sublime.
KD in CA Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Since you brought it up here is some Springsteen not many know that he wrote that song one of a few instances IMO where the cover outdid the original. I'm not a big Springsteen fan, but I've always like his original better on that one.
