Zucchini Drive evolving beyond their genre

Some bands really know how to make those grooves that crawl under your skin and rattle your chains.  Zucchini Drive has that sensibility.  Their music slams your speakers and drives your mood up and down on their newest LP.  No Food But Lots Of Weapons was released this year and I'm surprised didn't make a bigger splash.  Their electro-hip-hop fusion is damn addictive.

I seriously didn't expect Marcus Graap with pigtails singing the vocals on "Howler Than Thou."  This track is probably my favorite from No Food But Lots of Weapons LP.  A song about going for yours and these fellas do on this track.  It's the kind of beat you'll want to hit replay as soon as it's over.


"Jaguar Sky" is a more reserved song that shows a different side of Zucchini Drive.  These guys definitely have range and another solid track from No Food But Lots of Weapons.
 
"Life Coach" is another standout track from their new LP.  This is definitely above electro-hip-hop as their defined by.   I think they've evolved greatly since their first LP where they sounded more like Fun Lovin' Criminals.

For those of you that might have forgotten about Fun Lovin' Criminals, here's a refresher.
