As Kriz plays the trumpet you drift off into a different world. The band has a way of drawing you in, no matter what they bring to the table. In the studio the basic tracks were enriched by a multiplied Kriz playing additional trumpets, flugelhorns, valve trombones and even a tuba.


The band is usually a bit more aggressive, faster, and more complex so these two tracks were them showcasing a different side to them. Their latest release “Move on for Real” is showing their more aggressive and upbeat side, the quick drums makes you want to grab a partner and dance. The fun loving song will make you smile and start having a great time.

The rapping from Rootwoods the song brings it to a different vibe, as the song is ending you’ll realize why you should love the group. Based off their uniqueness alone they should be your favorite band.
