Family Style

posted in: Artist Features • Urban

Brotherly love has led to some indelible musical acts: The Isley Brothers, Van Halen, Hanson. Then there are those that don’t work out so great (See: Oasis). Weapons of Audio seem to have what it takes to go the distance: ambition, serious chop, and a blood bond. Brothers Jeremy and Floyd Daniels are from the Atlanta scene that gave rise to hip hop innovators like Outkast, Cee Lo Green and Janelle Monae. Their music showcases the same soulful eccentricity that those acts embody, with a killer rock sensibility. If You Want Me is a hip-pop juggernaut that’s part Cameo, part Andre 3000 and part Prince. Grinding guitar riffs get the party started, building up to a new wave-soul chorus. It’s dance party seduction wrapped in distortion. I ain’t gonna stop until I hear you scream, Jeremy sings on the hook. Give the brother what he wants.
