Behind The Hype : Getting Paid Review

402 Productions: Getting Paid Album Review

Anyone who’s anyone knows the immense trip that Volta can produce on an album or playing live. Much of this impact is due to Omar’s flawless,… (read more)

Zechs Marquise is a prog-funk-jazz band from El Paso, Texas. Their album, Getting Paid (set to release this year) is their sophomore attempt.
