The alterna-funk outfit Phunk Junkeez is a five-piece (singer Soulman, guitarist Jeff O'Rourke, bassist Jumbo Jim, drummer Disko Danny D, and vocalist/turntable spinner DJ Roachclip), and sounds outstandingly similar to such present daytime chart toppers 311, Sugar Ray, and others. The isthmus came together in 1991 around the Arizona area, combining funk, rap music, and hard rock and roll. After the release of their self-titled independent debut, Trauma Records signed the ring and released Injected, which proved to be a slimly harder rocking occasion than the 1st one. Soon subsequently, the ring recorded a bouncy cover of KISS' anthemic "I Love It Loud" for the gesture exposure Tommy Boy, and toured for 2 days solid. Their third release, Fear of a Wack Planet, appeared in the summer of 1998, and seemed a great deal more corresponding musically to the bands listed supra. The Junk EP was released in 1999, the like class Jeff O'Rourke was replaced by Danny P. Sex Drugs & Rap 'N Roll surfaced in early 2001 with Money Mike on drums, followed by Rock It Science in 2003.
