Living Colour

Funk-metal band Living Colour formed in New York in 1984. As a member of the Rock Coalition Movement, the four piece sang highly political lyrics against American racism and Eurocentrism. While best known for its hard rock song "Cult of Personality" that garnered the group a Grammy, the band also incorporates a wide variety of musical styles into its music, including jazz, thrash, jive and electro. The group disbanded in 1995, but reformed in 2000, with a slightly altered lineup, and continues to tour today.
