It’s less often that I listen to an album that’s really hard to categorize. It’s easy to overindulge i

Populace Bring The Funk At PA's Lounge Show

Based out of the Boston area, Populace definitely brought the funk with them a couple of weeks ago when they hit up PA's Lounge for some pre 4th of July festivities. The guys have a highly layered R&B sound that most certainly evokes crowd participation, most notably the ability to dance along to the band's melodic sensibilities that are just oozing and dripping off the walls when you first see them play. It was definitely an entertaining experience for sure, and what made th
