Description
Here is some of the feedback the album received:
«FUNK ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2022! A full-blown unapologetic romp into the 80's complete with jumpsuits and boomboxes." FUNKATOPIA (US)
“Maybe this is what we need right now. Some good old fashioned, funky breakdance music... It's analog, it's freaky, and it sounds really good!” NRK P2, Kulturstripa
"The last time I heard the word breakdance music was probably in 1985... But this music is sickly funky and in the middle of nowhere for me. I'm not going to ignore the fact that I put it on when I train." Lars Undli, Atomic B-Boys
"More than good enough for the vorspiel with well spiced mojitos..." Arild Rønsen, PULS
The second album "HE WHO DARES, FLARES!" is unabashedly more exciting than its predecessor, as THE BUMP SQUAD has decided to go down a more gritty, gritty and dirty path. Producer Tomas Nerbø Smågesjø and vocalist Petter Aagaard are doing everything to inspire every man out there to dare to embrace The Funk, before it becomes illegal (!), and there are some very exciting guest musicians and artists who of course appear on the album...
"HE WHO DARES, FLARES!" will be released on C+C Records and it will therefore be released on Limited Edition Orange Vinyl on 22 February 2022, and if you join our crowdfunding, you will get your funky name in our thank you list on the vinyl.
