From the underground to the mainstream, people are always looking for new and unheard tunes. There is always new music is being made, new genres are always emerging. Music is everywhere and with its infinite amount of genres and multi-categorizing of artists and music it is easy for listeners to stumble upon something new to their ears.

The jazz, funk and hip-hop stylings of The Sauce, a band out of Orlando, brings their sound to the scene in summer of 2015. Their fusion of jazz influenced bass, psychedelic guitar sounds and funky percussions mixed with hip-hop lyrics paved the way for their first EP, “Today is the Youngest We’ll Ever Be”.

 “I hope this first release opens the door for more opportunities to make better music and collaborate with other artists,” said one of the band’s lyricists BOXicle Jenkins. This EP will be the first step The Sauce is making to get their sound heard.  They also plan to release “Nivens McTwisp” the last song on the tape, as a single. A video will also accompany the song to further promote their work.

The Sauce drew from personal experiences to write the music included on this tape. Some of heavier topics are death of loved ones and battling inner demons, but the band offers an uplifting outlook on life while talking about things people do not necessarily want to deal out in the open.

Hitting social media during the summer, be on the lookout for The Sauce in places like Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. Keep up with the band and see where they will be playing after the release of “Today is the Youngest We’ll Ever Be” and for band merchandise.

Whether people love or hate the EP it makes the listeners think and feel which the end goal The Sauce wants to achieve. The only rule is “It’s The Sauce over everything.”
