The Band Called Fuse are forging a vision for a new cultural movement that brings together eclectic styles, ideas, and people. Like their diverse community of dedicated fans (dubbed “Soul Rockas”) and the scene they’ve built around their music, The Band Called Fuse is made up of people from radically different backgrounds and traditions. Crave is giving adding fuel to their efforts with the world premiere of their new video for “Soul Rock Anthem”.
With members and influences from around the world, the band’s sound ranges from rock to soul to hip hop and beyond, recalling flavors of The Roots, The Fugees and beyond. The Band Called Fuse was born when two brothers from Belgium, X (guitar) and Toast (bass), met up with Mr. Pockett (drums), Soul Qloc (MPC, MC), and Silent Knight (lead MC) while playing in various projects around New Brunswick, NJ. In 2010, they launched a recurring hip hop showcase in New York City called The Line Up that has attracted the attention of hundreds of artists, DJs, and beat makers including Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), Pharoahe Monch, and John Forte (The Fugees).
As the band evolved, adding new members K-Dez (lead vocals) and Ith$ (keys), their list of accomplishments continued to grow. In addition to sharing stages with luminaries like Talib Kweli, MURS, and Vonnegutt, they have landed multiple singles in the top 40 on hip hop college radio charts and have made a strong presence at SXSW. Now, they’re looking toward the future with the February release of their new EP Impossible Dream.
