Phoenix fusion pioneers, Phunk Junkeez have been mixing punk, funk and rock for 15 years. On a new label with all new tracks, their sixth album, Hydro Phonic, promises to deliver their best work to date. The club anthem, "In the Summertime," emphasizes the group's mainstream appeal, while tracks like the introspective "Trust Issue," prove the band's ability to switch musical gears and get serious almost effortlessly. For those who think cats like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park started this, grab Hyrdo Phonic and take a history lesson. - gavin philip godfrey
