The Zutons

Genre-defying. You've heard it too many times. We often like to come up with new tags that generally roll off your tongue like a big spoonful of low-grade peanut butter. Luckily, the Zutons have succeeded in striding into labels-be-damned territory with their debut, Who Killed... the Zutons.Their sound is a crossbreed of funk, blues, and soul with the rawness of MC5 and the loveliness of Elvis Costello. Throw in a beautiful saxophonist and you've got the things that hit records are made of. -- Terra Sullivan
