Connie Price & The Keystones - "Under Attack" (ft. Angelo Moore of Fishbone)
Never one to shy away from speaking truth to power, Angelo Moore of the legendary L.A. group Fishbone, calls out the orange one and his gang of cohorts in “Under Attack!”. With a heavy, psychedelic funk track provided by Connie Price & The Keystones, the song is a reminder that you best heed the warning to “get out and save your Soul”!
On the B-side, Professor Shorthair adds tough drum breaks and scratches to the layers of horns, bass and organ - masterfully layed down by Dan Ubick & Co. alongside maestro Angelo Moore. This poignant and soulful track is a call to action against those “bringing woe, deceit, decimation and impending doom”!
