Time’s Up

Living Colour

A high-velocity collision of heavy metal, elastic funk, and avant-garde jazz. Dense, politically charged, and technically staggering rock music.

It's like a thrash metal band and a funk collective got into a fight and everyone won.

A high-tension explosion of intellectual fury and rhythmic joy.
