24-7 SPYZ
GUMBO MILLENIUM (1990)
320 KBPS
Drawing on influences ranging from Blue Öyster Cult, Jimi Hendrix and Anthrax to KRS-1, 24-7 Spyz continued to offer a variety of surprises on their absorbing sophomore effort, Gumbo Millenium. This is a diverse offering that takes more than its share of chances. Heavy metal/hard rock remains the band's foundation, and listeners never know whether the Spyz are going to turn to rap, ska or punk for inspiration. Social and political commentary is still a key part of the band, which addresses racial polarization on "Racism" and "Don't Push Me" and environmental concerns on "Valdez 27 Million?" For those seeking something fresh and unconventional from metal and hard rock, Gumbo Millenium is highly recommended.

Spyz is Eddie Hazel's son's band!!!
Actually, I thought I had read that the guitarist (who's real name I can't remember) used his 2 biggest influences for his stage name - Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel. Maybe he really is his son, but I didn't think so...
thanks for all the great music lately, too!
Nah...Jimi Hazel is not Eddie's son. Brad32 is right, he got his name from Jimi Hendrix & Eddie Hazel. Spyz are one of the great underrated bands of all time.
