PRESS QUOTES:

...Entropy not only resurrects the lost science of the live set, but it also remixes traditional black forms of musical expression (blues, jazz, soul, funk) for hip listeners. While many so-called funk collectives are rip-off artists in disguise, Entropy assures consumers it is far from a cheap knockoff.
Edward M. Garnes, Jr., Creative Loafing, July 19, 2007

“The guys on stage aren’t the only ones wet with sweat when Entropy is playing. The Athens-to-Atlanta sextet serves up bluesy, chop-stickin bass, sho’ nuff kickin’ drums, Rod Williams keys and churchified vocals that combine to drive the funky sound all the way down. It’s music that makes you move – even if you’re getting tossed about by folks on the dancefloor. You never know who or what might end up onstage, from big girls singing and doin’ the bump to soulful horns….”
T. LaGon, Creative Loafing, October 21, 2005

“Excellent group heavily influenced by vintage James Brown grooves, George Clinton’s P-Funk clan, and more modern hip-hop and worldbeat. They make a mighty, mighty ruckus, and they know how to land heavily on the one.”
Jim Reed, Connect Savannah, January 19, 2005

“A fantastic funk group that had keyboards and saxophones mixing brilliantly with the rhythm section and had the entire crowd on their feet dancing.”
Daryl Zero, Emergenza.net, June 30, 2005

"Entropy, a four-piece that usually plays as a six-piece but can swell to as many as 12, have spent plenty of time in the library of sweet soul music. Live shows call to mind the full band involvement of James Brown’s The JBs and Parliament/Funkadelic. With four-part harmonies, call-and-response and a steady wall of sound coming from Entropy, the comparison isn’t far from the mark."

"Our main mission is to have our things danceable and accessible and funky, for lack of a better word," Goodman said. He also said the words of the album title, "Live-Rebel-Funk-Love," are both adjectives and verbs, an edict as to how they live. "Through our lyrics, we’re always trying to say something, so it’s not just party party," he said. "It’s important for us to say something, that might be about the party or it might be about world events. We’ve got some pretty politically themed songs and lyrical content. That’s part of what James (Brown), did and this is what we do."

Interview with Bryan Goodman
Trevor Higgins, Chatanooga Times Free Press, August 5, 2005

“Openly loose, jangled soul grooves is tonght’s meal, and it certainly goes down easy with a shot of classic MC vocal dropage. Maybe a side of horns and vinyl scratch to even out the course. Hot-lanta’s Entropy suckle from the galactic teat that is Parliament/Funkadelic, and do it quite well. Seven members and growing, the ensemble drops poly-rhythms for the feet then slinks into the sultry burn of The Flames. A complete package.”
EW, The Independent Weekly, May 26, 2005

“…The sophisticated quartet embodies the word groove in all its implications, building on deep, syncopated rhythms with slick, well-lubed melodies. Keysman/MC/vocalist Rod Williams provides the lyrical leash that guides Entropy’s rambunctious, jazz-jam excursions, but in this funk torrent no one stream overrides another. That means these guys form a sort of subliminal tidal wave, an immersive sound that’s not exactly aggressive, but sweetly, neatly tuneful and unarguably danceable. Breaking down all the best bits of the Brand New Heavies, James Brown, Robert Walter, and Soulive, Entropy distills the essence of funk into its own infectious brew.”
Jonathan Zwickel, New Times Broward-Palm Beach, September 15, 2005

"With a cool blend of electro-grooves, space funk and hip-hop, Entropy's sound also shows off reggae and Latin influences. Fresh indeed, Entropy is gearing up for the band's debut studio release "Live-Rebel-Funk-Love" and is sure to make an impact on the Southeastern music scene in the coming months." www.charleston.net, 2004

"With the quartet’s innovative blend of art-felt funk and hip-hop science, Entropy’s sound ranks among the most unique in the Athens/Atlanta area." Eddie Childs - Red & Black, 2003

"Operating with a palette that includes hip-hop, R&B and funk, the band crafts competent, accessible and danceable tunes just ripe for the Georgia Theatre stage and others of its kind across the Southeast." John Knight - Flagpole Magazine, 2002

“The entire show is filled with super-high-energy tunes, exploring the funk genre from many different angles, including the influence of hip-hop, R&B, and dance in general... Imagine flutes, saxophones, fly-ass velvet leisure suits, various percussion implements, a flowistic MC, and one James Brown doll, then you have Entropy's New Year's Eve extravaganza.”
