“Introducing Future” by Spencer Griffith for Indyweek.com
“Plenty of party bands exhibit a vague notion of eclecticism. Using hip-hop, reggae, soul, funk and rock, they haphazardly throw disparate elements of each into a musical blender and pray for some cohesion. Many fail. But then there’s the ambitiously dubbed Future, a D.C. quintet that seamlessly melds those genres by fusing emcee Antoine “Bucket” Ware’s heady slam poetry and Gordon Sterling’s explosive, soulful pipes with deep reggae grooves, driving rock rhythms and guitar pyrotechnics–often over the course of a single song. Future’s extended explorations are unbound by stylistic notions.”
