Fitz and the Tantrums, a five-piece soul group based in L.A., recently released their EP, Songs for a Break-up – Vol. 1. Part soul, part Motown, and yes – part Hall & Oates (front man Fitz says they’re one of his favorite bands, and it shows), this EP is a promising debut that holds your attention from start to finish. First track, “Breakin’ the Chains of Love” is a rousing soul tune complete with catchy church organ and saxophone riffs. Recorded entirely in Fitz’s living room with a $50 organ and an old mic, Songs for a Break-up is hopefully just a taste of more to come. – Written By DBosket
