Brooklyn Way
(Independent) legends never die and Brooklyn, NY's The Lordz is living proof. Mr. Kaves and his brother/partner-in-crime ADM have been on the scene, not only in NY, but worldwide for a while now. Whether it is Kaves' presence as a graffiti legend, ADM's stellar production work and especially when teamed up as a musical entity, you've seen and heard their work. They've toured the world (The Lordz have appeared on each of the last 3 Warped Tours), collaborated with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Busta Rhymes, Sublime, Freddie Foxx, Everlast and countless others, bringing the unique taste of Brooklyn with them everywhere they go.The Lordz, Mr. Kaves and ADM's latest musical incarnation, conjures up images and sounds from late 70's/early 80's New York City, along with the 2 vital musical and cultural revolutions that were making noise at that time: punk rock and hip-hop. With neither movement being embraced by the mainstream (yet), it wasn't unusual to find b-boys AND punks side-by-side in underground clubs, skating rinks, parks etc., because that was where they were free to fly their respective anti-flags.From the garage/punk-hop workout of The Brooklyn Way's opener "Back Up," to the Ramones nod of "Outlaw," featuring their good pal Tim Armstrong of Rancid fame, over to their beat-driven ode to their hometown "The Brooklyn Way" alongside Everlast, to their blazing cover of Jim Carroll's "People Who Died," Mr. Kaves and ADM do the era proud.
