Really dig these guys. Great mix of things like Hendrix, Kings X and classic blues and pop sounds... This is a winner.

A  C.O.C.K. Story: 

 
 
 
New York City’s long and storied love affair with rock and roll has produced some of the world’s most sensational rock bands. Soon to be added to that illustrious list are Harlem’s own Citizens Of Contrary Knowledge. This group of four journeyman musicians are poised to burst onto the national scene with the release of their debut CD, “You’re what you wish you are…”- an eclectic amalgam of funk, rock, modern rock, and soul that is quickly garnering critical acclaim and popular appeal. Citizens Of Contrary Knowledge possess a sound that has far too long been missing in modern rock, and without being derivative, have coalesced influences as varied as Zeppelin and Prince, Hendrix and U2, Cream and STP into a purely emotional, original, and modern sound. “You’re what you wish you are…” is a solid freshman effort from this prolific foursome whose possibilities for producing great rock and roll seem endless.
