I should have shamelessly plugged these guys a while ago: The Garrison Delight

I work at a student-run record label and the band that we're currently working with is The Garrison Delight. They're an awesome band with a funk rock vibe. Check out their official website at www.waxonfelt.org/tgd or their Myspace @ myspace.com/thegarrisondelight to listen to/download some of their music. They're chill guys who put on a great show. Here's a little more about the band, which I totally just stole from Wax on Felt's site:

The Garrison Delight's distinctive sound comes as a breath of fresh air to many funk rock fans in the Beantown music scene. Their songs provide a unique blend of progressive songwriting and quality musicianship while their energized stage performances are both melodically soulful and groove oriented. Guitarist Oliver Boyer-Masutti of Quebec often uses jazz overtones to compliment the group's rock roots, while working with the hook-oriented melodies written by singer and front man Chris Franzen. Additionally, the groove section, made up of Italian drummer Francesco Basile, Trans-Siberian keys player Martin Barnes and Vermont bassist Peter Dotson-Westphalen, consistently lays down the group's funk vibe. These international players were brought together within and around the walls of The Berklee College of Music in Boston. Even within the Berklee community, which is inundated with talent, the sound of The Garrison Delight has been well received by a loyal local fan base. The group is currently in the process of recording their debut EP with Wax on Felt Records that will be released this fall, which will be followed by gigs throughout the Northeast.


Well there ya go. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT THEIR AWESOME MUSIC!
