Living Colour

Living Colour is a hard rock group formed in New York city in 1984. They signed to Epic Records in 1987 and released their first album, VIVID, in 1988. Stylistically their music is a creative fusion influenced by guitar-based rock such as hardcore punk and heavy metal, and traditional African-American music such as jazz, funk, and hip-hop. They are linked to the punk/funk/metal movement of the late 1980s typified by bands such as Fishbone, Jane`s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, and 24-7 Spyz.
