Afroskull, USA

News: After a couple of years off, Afroskull returned playing live in late 2019. No mention of a 3rd album though. Last check: February 15, 2020.


Overview: Hard hitting funk rock from New Orleans. Like a latter day Mandrill pounding notes with the Budos Band, and a heapin' side dish of Funkadelic. A straight up mix of hard rock riffs, tight horn charts, and funky rhythms. How I wish there were more bands like this.
