Budos Band III

Third studio full length from NY's Budos Band. These guys absolutely rip it on the vintage sounding instrumental funk tip, and prove that once again on the simply-titled III. The album was conceived during weekly, beer-fueled Staten Island writing sessions (as well as more than 150 live gigs over the last two years) and recorded at Daptone's Bushwick recording studio during a 48 hour period at the beginning of the year. The whole thing is fire, but here's some picks to get your ears hungry for more - "Rite Of The Ancients(1)," "Black Venom(2)," "River Serpentine(3)," "Golden Dunes(4)," "Raja Haje(5)," "Crimson Skies(6)," "Reppirt Yard(7)" and "Nature's Wrath(8)." Killer horns all-over this piece, striking cover art too. 11 tracks total.
