Sounds Like
.."The PutBacks lay down a groove exactly how I want to hear it: With super-heavy authentic tones, attitude and feel…" - Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos/Lanu) .. .. "If the JB’s had their own monorail, the Putbacks have a steam train that runs right from Australia directly to every record player in the world – DJ Prestige www.djprestige.net " .. .. ”Diamond Cutter is fresh — it’s cheesy enough to make white people dance but it’s not cheesy at all… it’s got the same kinda swinging feel as Tighten Up or Razor Blade, but still grooves hard like a JB/Pee Wee Ellis 45. Party starter!
