Hailing from Brighton, The Grits emerge with their own take on raw, rare and grimy instrumental funk. Their journey began in 2005 with guitarist Stuart ''Countryboy'' Carter and Nick ''The Organiser'' Harris. Bassist James and drummer Johnny were recruited soon after, marking the birth of one seriously slick funk four piece. Their self titled debut includes a superb cover of The Soul Drifters 'Funky Soul Brother', as well as 'Boom Boom', the sold out 45 released on Freestyle and its B side 'Jan Jan' - an instant raw funk classic championed by Radio 2's Mark Lamarr and Radio 6 funkster Craig Charles. With their roots firmly steeped in classic funk, The Grits add their own slant with trashy guitars, crunchy drums and deep bass. Add to this super-modulated Moog, a bag of percussion and their trademark guttural vocal grunts and you have a live show that never fails to work their live audiences into a funk frenzy. On record, The Grits manage to keep the rawness alive, whilst upping the stakes sonically with modular analogue synths, piano, harmonica and even a huge metal cabinet played with a stick! Pure funk gold! Enjoy! ''The Grits are going to be GODS!'' Craig Charles - Radio 6 ''The Grits seem to be doing all the right things'' Mark Lamarr - Radio 2

Lots of cuts for the dancefloor. Solid record! - Diesler
