Album Notes

Contriband, short for "contribution" band, is the integration of the musical influences in rock, jazz, funk, and soul, all built upon a solid foundation of hip-hop. Intricately weaving live instrumentation
with the digital realm and back, while offering a precise balance of rhythmic and thoughtful wordplay, Contriband's unique sound stretches well beyond the borders of "fusion" music.

Formed in the spring of 2002, the members of this Chicago based band include Allan Cordero on bass, Justin Hori on keys, Tom Scully on guitar, Russell Pride on drums, DJ Stizo on turntables and trumpet, with vocals and rhymes provided by M.C.'s Life One and Universe Neo.

Take a listen to The Sound and join the growing number of Contrifans!

We thank you in advance for giving us a listen....

Peace!

This is totally new

The sound is like nothing I have heard before. No other groups to compare it to. On a 1 to 10 scale it gets an 11. Could not stop listening for days. Many different styles blended smoothly.

bringing it all together as one

You are sure to find at least one track, if not two, three or more, to call your favorite on this album. The band taps in to all different types of music. A hip-hop foundation, with live instrumentation, you'll catch something new with each listen- sound effects, scratches, lyrical phrases, guitar licks, bass slides and fills, drum fills, keyboard sounds... If you're a fan of any type of music, there's a lot to like about this CD.

soul, funk, rock, hip-hop to jazz
author: Jeremy Williams
                            
This album is the best hip-hop I've heard in years. Contriband is a 7-piece multicultural band, carrying the torch lit by groups like Tribe, De La, Pharcyde, Ozomatli, and the Roots. While The Sound has several "filler" tracks, there are at least 9 solid tracks that cause infectious head bobbing and positive vibes. Do not miss this.
