There's a War to be one, and Boston's Audible Mainframe, an eight-piece hip-hop collective, is positioned on the frontline and ready to strike.
Fronted by seasoned slam poet MC Exposition and backed by DJ JayCeeOh, the band features drummer Johnny George, eclectic guitarist Dave Sherman, Luke Pinella and Bob Moriarty on the sax, Dave Miller pulling double-duty on the keys and trumpet, while Blake Rogers brings a funked-up, thundering assault of bass.
AM is not your little sister's hip-hop. Coupled with rhythms hard enough to make the dead rise up and dance, Expo's lyrics focus on social injustice, the need for change and the power of one's voice, bringing new meaning to the term "political party" anthems, as found in the group's debut album, Framework.
Following the success of Framework, spun on regular rotation at over 100 radio stations nationwide after its debut at #14 on CMJ's Add List, AM rallied the troops once again for War to be One, an EP due in the early summer. Where Framework ends, War to be One takes off in a full-sprint.
The AM sound is anything but familiar - the unique and distinct nature of Audible Mainframe's personality makes their sound particularly special, solidifying their spot at the top of Boston's hip-hop food chain.
