Busdriver

Now I'll be the first to admit I don't get to that many hip-hop shows (a sad byproduct of living in Salt Lake City), but the ones I have been to almost always let me down from a performance standpoint. So when I saw Busdriver last summer open of for Islands, I was not at all prepared for an intense showmanship that most closely resembled Cedric Bixler (of At The Drive In / The Mars Volta fame). The best part of the show was that he genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself, and that feeling continues on his new album, Roadkill Overcoat. Labeled with the ever-helpful genre of "underground hip-hop," Busdriver has sought out a new, more experimental direction for himself with some pretty successful results.
