Our Take

If stereotype Millennial were solely obsessed with avocado toast and abandoning all sense of shame for their killer Spotify playlists, Tower of Power’s latest offering, 'Oakland Zone', might just be the album to convince them that a brass section can actually be cool. The legendary soul-funk band, who first burst onto the scene in the ‘60s, serve up a piping hot plate of grooves that will have your hips shaking like an earthquake in the Bay Area.

From the moment the opening notes of “East Bay!” hit your ears, you know you’re in for a wild ride. With their trademark tight arrangements and funk-infused jams, Tower of Power prove that they are not just some relic of a bygone era, but a force to be reckoned with in today’s music scene. Sure, their sound might be rooted in the past, but they inject enough modern flair to keep things fresh and exciting.

Tracks like “Global Warming” and “Page One” showcase the band’s ability to seamlessly blend social commentary with irresistible dance beats, while “Oakland Zone” is a funky, horn-driven anthem that will have you bobbing your head in no time. And let’s not forget the undeniably catchy hooks on songs like “Streamline” and “Exposed.”

So, if you’re looking for a good time and some serious grooves, look no further than Tower of Power’s 'Oakland Zone'. Just be prepared to have these songs stuck in your head for days on end – and trust us, you won’t be complaining one bit.
