Here's a note about probably an obscure group:
Five Style (sp?) - lately WZBC has been playing a
guitar based instrumental by this group. Its only
released as far as I can tell on 7 inch on Subpop
records.
Sounds pretty good to me, but I'm not gonna go
out and by a turn table just to listen to it!
Anyone else heard of this band or know anything
about them?

I picked up the new one from 5 Style. For me its
the antidote to the Hellecasters. I had thought
Duke Levine would fit that bill, but "Country
Soul" doesn't really grab me.
5 style is all instrumental, guitar/bass/keys/drums.
Sounds like they've listened to alot of P-Funk and
Sly Stone, but live among the grunge in Seattle.
Its pretty funky, and _not_ slick at all. Probably
the most interesting (besides the tasty funk guitar) is
the keyboards, which are far back in the mix and
sound like things from the 70s found at yard sales.
It lists no recording studio, so maybe they did
it in their basement. Since the first track has
this unbelievable high pitch feedback whenever the
guitar is up its clear they didn't spend much time
getting the recording right. Endearing imperfection.
(Also see review in Guitar Player.)
