(Insane) Coonn's, music can be described as a mix of Rock and a splash of Funk. With melodic guitars and undeniable rhythm, their music is a combination of cadence and creative lyrics that is displayed at their live performances and captured on their albums. This project grabs the listener from the opening song, and then gets better with each listen. Coonn does that by displaying in every song a representation of wealthy funk and vibrant rock that vibrates the soul and but doesn't spare the crunch. The fascination with this new breed of "funk & roll" musicians is their instinctive ability to connect many genres of music, thereby shaping and molding it into something all of their own making. This CD captures Coonns unique sound, with guitar riffs attacked from every angle, addictive rhythms, and compelling changes. There is never a break, lack of chemistry, or a missed note. Perfection is the word and music of this nature grows inside itself, and it will grow on you with each spin.
