What's the flavor?
Rap/rhyme-core, with a little taste of punk in-your-face dynamic thrown
in to spice up the mix. Heavy with a groove, aggressive yet still melodic.
Ladies and gentlemen..... Rooster Inc.

Meet
the band: Chris and Sean provide formidable vocal punch, the guitars are
def-tly slung by Sam and Clinton, Stephen slaps bass, Ken works the
keys and Danny destroys the drums. Hailing from So Cal, this band
has been out there kicking it to Southland crowds since '97, and you can
tell, 'cause this sh*t is tight! |

 |
The dual vocalists
spin well-versed verbage into a taut-strung melodic line; with Sean going
back and forth from flipping off rhymes to a soulful croon, which is real
nice. At times, Sean's rap even has the feel of Jamaican toasting.

The
rhythm section is totally slamming, with plenty of low end to lay down the
bottom line with authority. Ken's keyboards add the crowning touch to the
mix, as he performs some sick trippy maneuvers on those things.

The
guitar work ranges from slick, driving riffs to tortured wails reminiscent
of air raid sirens. The outcome is a multi- dimensional melange of sounds,
tones and melody that couldn't get much better. It just works! And they
work it! |

Seven
men strong this band's sound is as impressive as it's size… so phat… they
needed to put "Inc." after the name, so you'd know they mean business.
It's loud and has bite, but, oh my, a little bad-ass freak-wild attitude
never sounded sooo sweet!. |
