| THE UNDERBELLY are a five piece uptempo funk band |
| from Cornwall, comprised of tenor sax, alto sax, |
| flute/baritone sax, guitar, drums and bass, |
| delivering high energy dancefloor-friendly funk |
| music. After being the resident band for Pete |
| Isaacs legendary Jelly Jazz parties, The |
| Underbelly are now ready to launch their |
| recording career with this debut full-length, for |
| which they recruited the powerful voice of Dojo |
| Cuts singer Roxie Ray on three tracks. |
| Anticipated by the release of 45 "I Keep Heading |
| On" sung by Miss Ray, with the driving rhythms of |
| "Cold Toast" on the B-side, Seven Feet Under is |
| set to redefine the modern funk scene. |
| |
| The album kicks off to a strong start with the |
| soulful, uplifting grooves of instrumental |
| V-funk, and proceeds to capture all the raw, live |
| energy that established The Underbelly as one of |
| the most exciting funk bands to emerge today. |
| From the fast-paced Erik FM, to the more mellow |
| and laid-back jazz-feel of Packin Up, this album |
| is by no means a typical debut, but rather a |
| confident display of tight musicianship, |
| innovative sounds and infectious breakbeats. |
| Already counting on the support of DJs such as |
| Craig Charles, who called them the find of the |
| year during his show on BBC 2, The Underbelly put |
| a modern, edgy twist on the classic sounds of |
| soul and funk, resulting in an album that |
| captures the ears and feet of anyone in a 5 mile |
| radius, so careful how high you turn your |
| speakers on! |
| |
| Nice slice of classic funk! Eddie Piller (Acid |
| Jazz / BBC 4) |
| |
| "Yeah! I really like this." - Adrian Gibson |
| (Freestyle Records) |
| |
| "Stunning. Loving the tunes to bits. Big and |
| beefy, just how we like our funk!" - Craig |
| Charles (The Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show on |
| BBC 6 Music) |
| |
| Some more raw funk from the Record Kicks camp and |
| sounding on point to me! DJ Andy Smith |
| |
| Another quality release from Record Kicks full of |
| all things funk and more. Superb instrumentals, |
| some with a jazz and Afro funk feel. The raw |
| vocals of Roxie Ray are a dream and the whole |
| album rolls along like an express train. Yes good |
| people Underbelly truly are The Funk, The Whole |
| Funk and nothing but The Funk. You'd better |
| believe it! Bob Jones (Future Soul) |
| |
| "The Underbelly kick ass! I'm gonna play them on |
| the radio tomorrow!" - Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz / |
| Phonic FM) |
| |
| Great tracks - looking forward to hearing more |
| from them!! Diesler (Tru Thoughts / Freestyle) |
