Linguist Noam Chomsky: "It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies."

The pace and aggression of the city flash through their tensile, hard-edged sound. With its five-man horn section, the group is also the most successful attempt yet to combine jazz-flavored brass and reeds with rock guitar and rhythm.
