The energy of a thermo-nuclear hip-hop meltdown attacks the listener from the very first moment. Despite sitting down while writing this, my ass still finds a way to shake itself. Every word dripping like sexual honey from the mouth of Ezra Bang, simultaneously acerbic and smooth, hits my ear with the force of all that is funk. Deep grooves and tight beat are always a hallmark of Ezra Bang and Hot Machine's music, and "What U Can't Kill U must Envy" qualifies for both. I bounced this in my Cadillac on a beautiful day here in Montana, sun shining and the whole world getting in line to the silky pulse of the Ezra Bang and Hot Machine vibe. (It's actually some Cadillac compatible parts I affixed to my moped, but you get the idea!)
Tireless self promotion has begun to create a name for Ezra Bang and Hot Machine, and rightly so. Upon hearing the work the listener might wonder why they haven't heard more of Ezra Bang and Hot Machine? They might wonder why they aren't at this very moment waiting in line to see the band perform. Certainly a contender with any modern hip-hop for glamour, the band also offers a fine dose of synth heavy production. Like Chuck D became lost finding the club and ended up fronting Heaven Seventeen for the evening. Aside from the superb musicianship, a slick production rounds out "What U Can't Kill U Must Envy" to make any booty appropriately bounce.
Having recently been featured on a 3 mobile Austria commercial, Ezra Bang and Hot Machine are beginning to see the recognition they deserve. I want more. I want international marketing campaigns. Reviewers raving on every internet site. I want every teenage girl to have an Ezra Bang and Hot Machine poster hanging over their bed, covering up those forlorn looking, floppy haired, Jonas Brothers punks.
Between outstanding recordings and electrifying live shows, we're all sure to be hearing more from Ezra Bang and Hot Machine. Run to your record store and demand they stock the 7 inch single of "What U Can't Kill U Must Envy".
