Editorial review

This Philadelphia quartet brings the soul, funk, and jazz in equal measures on its sophomore release. Influenced by the tough vibe of Sly Stone, Rick James, Prince, James Brown, and '70s R&B, the band isn't creating anything particularly innovative, yet what it does, it does extremely well. Singer Brian Williams guides the group through singalong choruses with powerful pipes, sometimes shifting into falsetto mode. But reed player Tom Long seems to be the band's de facto leader, and producer Scott Stallone, who also contributes keyboards, pushes all the right buttons. Despite the band's moniker, there aren't any blues here. Instead, there is plenty of riff-happy, party-styled funk-jazz. The playing is taut and tightly wound with ample detours and overdubs to keep it interesting. The innovative arrangements occasionally bring songs to a dead stop, only to crash back into the track's main lick, as they do in "Shine." Parts of "Think a Minute" recall Steely Dan, but as a whole, the sound is more soul than jazz. Most of the material runs over four minutes, yet nothing is extended unnecessarily and some of the shorter tunes even seem like they end too soon. The instrumental "Rosa Lane" brings a Crusaders vibe and the flute and wah-wah guitar on the intro to "In the Running" sound like an Isaac Hayes outtake from Shaft. The breakneck pace of "Let Me See You" ignites a wild groove that twists and turns in so many directions, it could be considered prog funk. The recording's full sound is attributable in part to its deep, thumping bass that makes songs jump out of the speakers, turning any room into a dancefloor. This is a real find, especially for those into the heavy funk-soul-jazz acts of the '70s. ~ Hal Horowitz, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

Do you like your funk raw, dirty and a little dark? From the sweat drenched clubs of Philadelphia comes the Blue Method --- a band with so much bottom-end they actually blew their own speakers while previewing their latest 2007 release, “Kill The Music Vol. 2”.

The band’s sophomore effort, “Kill The Music Vol. 2”, bumps and grinds through dark alleyways and dimly lit nightclubs with a touch of gospel, immense horns and the paramount funk that made their first release the #1 downloaded album in the funk category at Garageband.com.

Songs like the sweltering “Get Back Home” feature trembling vocals over swirling 60’s inspired synthesizer and window shattering bass that’s so funky you can’t help but kick out the seat you’re sittin’ in. The more pop-oriented “Other Family” is sweet and smooth with a catchy kicker you find yourself singing while stuck in traffic or in the line at the grocery store.
