The Coup
is a band from Oakland, CA. Their music is an amalgamation of influences, including
funk, punk, hip hop, and soul
. Because of the lyrics of leader and frontman
Boots Riley
, they are often put into the category of
political
hip hop.
The group's music is characterized by
aggressive
, yet
danceable
bass-driven backbeats
overlaid by humorous, hopeful, and often witty lyrics- with a bent towards the literary- that critique, observe, and lampoon capitalism, American
politics, patriarchal exploitation, police brutality, romance,
working
at
fast food places
, and being at
cocaine
parties
with rich people, among other things.
Dokkerman
and The Turkeying Fellaz
is a Hungarian
deep funk revival
band. In their music they recycle the gritty grooves only DJs spin nowadays, breathing new life into
old funk, afrobeat, trash and garage beats
.
Dirty guitar riffs
, no-budget organ, one sentence chants. Dancing is mandatory!
