Oh my god!! Could it be... the dreaded... TRUE HIP-HOP!?!? Well not quite true hip-hop. For being an underground hip-hop group. Slug writes "conscious rap" lyrics, kind of as far off as possible as you can get from the likes of Soulja Boy or Lil' John. The lyrics are at times brooding, and deal with self-destructive problems alongside the small annoyances and oddities of life. Atmosphere has some of my favorite beats. There is a definite rock influence in some of the songs, and it almost turns into a folk sound in songs such as Always Coming Back Home to You. The band gained some noteriety with the release of Tony Hawk's Ungerground 2 which included the song Trying To Find a Balance, resulting in some air time on KROQ and the like. Even if rap isn't really your thing, you might find this group surprisingly enjoyable.
