Overmind / “Change Today”
Asbury Park-based reggae-rock-
in’ rappers Overmind’s debut EP
is an entertaining, enlightening
mash of Rage Against the Ma-
chine-like political fury and edgy,
Bad Brainsesque fun. The more
political they get, the better, such
as on the rallying of the anti-Trump
title track.
The closing intensity of “P8TH”
about the increasingly enslaving
struggle along the path to the
American Dream also is a worthy
wake-up call. At only four songs,
“Change Today” is one of those lo-
cal releases that leaves you thirsty
for more.
Until Overmind’s next release,
there are a couple of great op-
portunities to see them perform
more than four songs live. They
have two shows coming up at
which they will open for three
similar-sounding national acts: The
Slackers on April 22 at Crossroads,
Garwood, and The Dirty Heads
and SOJA on June 17 at The Stone
Pony, Asbury Park.
