Following swiftly in the funk-steps of 6ix Toys brilliantly catchy cover of the Prodigy's "Voodoo People", the talented, Liverpool-based septet release their eponymous debut album on First Word Records at the end of the month. With live drums, bass, keys, guitar, trombone and sax as the band's backbone, the album sounds at times convincingly like the JB's in full flow. Highly recommended. - The Independent
