Every now and then we at THEFRESHCOMMITTEE like to try to break acts who aren't primarily in the urban department, seeing that this site is ran by 2 aspiring rappers, a singer and a gym teacher all being negro in the worst way. Anyway, Piel is a Los Angeles Punk Band based fronted by singer Tiki, with Jawnee on keys, Steve and Chris killing the guitars, RawB on the drums and Tamiye on the taiko (which happens to be my 5th favorite instrument of all time). There sound is an eclectic mix of hardcore punk music with a hint of electronica and trip hop influence with Tiki's sweet sweet voice sounding like honey over the hard. I discovered this band while visiting one of my favorite sites Afropunk to be exact and was hooked after watching the Contagious video from their free album and once I downloaded the record I wanted to have a fucking party their music isn't anything less than superb and after the jump you can view the video for contagious and find out how to get your hands on their free mini album download
