These guys, are brilliant! My dad (yet again) was the one that gave me their reference, and when I listened to them, it took a mere 30 seconds before I invested my first part. Similar to another Dutch band that I have invested in ('Relish'), 'Characters' have managed to capture the funk rock genre perfectly, with noticable moments of blues soul thrown in for good measure. It surprised me that these guys weren't actually industry pros when I first listened; cos their musical ability is beyond impressive.
