Serious hammond B3 organ drenched 60's style instrumental beat for the 21st century and not afraid to show their teeth. A funk and groove music revolution from the makers of HAMMONDBEAT.
"Beat.It" is raw 60's drenched fuel to feed a world dominated by an otherwise anemic and bland soundscape. How Hammond organ funk is meant to be heard.
"Beat.It" is also the sound for the 2004 motion picture "Wilson Chance" (Bunzendahl Brothers Productions), which provided 5 songs to sit side-by-side with a fresh score by 007 guitar legend Vic Flick. And if that wasn't enough, the meeting of the Link Quartet, Hammondbeat, and Wilson Chance has resulted in a special soundtrack album ("The Sound of Danger", March 2, 2004) featuring over 70 minutes of new music, also available at CDbaby!
The Link Quartet have arrived! Following their second US tour in June 2004 (capped by the massive ModChicago event) and the completion of their next album, the boys are taking the summer off and preparing a revamped live set with the new record front and center. Watch for the "early years" album "Evolution" and brand new EP "Decade" from Hammondbeat in the autumn of 2006.
