I caught The FountNHead when they performed at a show at The Masquerade in Atlanta this past summer. The trio caught my attention instantly. Maybe it was the brash political message they exuded. They performed with a doll of Barack Obama onstage by the way. It could have possibly been the angst that I picked up in their tone. The same youthful angst that is propelling Tyler the Creator and the Odd Future movement. That same angst the propelled Nirvana in the 90′s and Linkin Park in the 2000s. All that said, it most likely it was the music.
Breezing through their set which featured many tracks off their debut EP Higher than Heaven, Still Blacker than Hell, I was sold. Their sound is unique, featuring equal parts of southern brashy rock and southern rap and crunk music. Booty Bass and Guitars are an unlikely pairing, but when it sounds this cohesive who cares about genre? Do yourself a favor and get into this one.
