The Edge

The album Sweat will make the glands of a funk enthusiast work overtime when they cannot resist dancing its fast-paced rhythms. The Vancouver based band Five Alarm Funk are eight members with over a decade’s worth of knowledge about groove under their belt. Sweat contains the cry of high pitched horns and the groaning of a sonorous bass. Lead vocalist Tayo Branston guides his seven band mates in fun loving chanting while guitars enthusiastically plucked and drums are tapped with avidity. The feel-good vibes of this album will cheer up the most stressed individuals and will send them into a dopamine fueled funk frenzy.
