Raise up the decibels Escape with it wish you well Coins in a wishing well embracing in this inner realm Straight down the rabbit hole universe parallel Play riddim spin em' slow swing around the carousel Merry go round can't be bound in this living hell Telling these stories of woe hope you listen well Understand link up with Alice out in wonderland No underhanded malice just the people living off the land Young forever like it's Neverland Peter Pan Peter piper pick the pepper paid the piper overstand Holding on I'm living in it like its summer jam Singalong come and dance Simmer in the summer sands, Sunset silhouettes sounds of solace songs Summer solstice smoke the sess so my soul enhance So we slowly dance, Romancing holding hands, Stole the moment If only hoping is all we can. Burdened on this journey Determined to keep hurdling, Turning the tides when its turbulent, Non compliant non subservient, Nah bow down to babylon system thats affirmative, Instinctive non conformist, Freedom fighter fatherless, Lost like Martin Luther Malcolm X, Mansa Musa Kings gone to rest, Stand strong bang chest like King kong, Sing songs like fela kuti, For the culture, For the freedom illusive, So my people don't loose grip In this illusion of life living loosely, More than survival Its thriving its boujee, It's usually These are the times When the minds on a rise Eyes on the prize Looking beautifully

about

‘We Have Each Other’ sees TC & The Groove Family refine the sound debuted on their 2022 album ‘First Home’. Returning to work once again with producer Tom Excell (Nubiyan Twist, ONIPA), the project explores a darker sonic palette, channelling a deep appreciation of UK bass and electronic music alongside afro-jazz sounds and hip-hop sensibilities.

Led by drummer Tim Cook and spearheaded by Sheffield wordsmith Franz Von, it documents a time of change within the group - a new lineup, plus members living in different cities and pursuing various paths - whilst also reflecting the turbulent socio-political climate, and the major shifts and changes on the horizon for humanity.

Building upon the core of the Groove Family, the project features contributions from Nubiyan Twist’s Aziza Jaye and BBCR1Xtra-backed Birmingham MC SANITY. Despite the heavy subject material, the band strike an optimistic, uplifting tone, encouraging listeners to look around and embrace community, whatever that may look like.

No one should be lonely when celebrating each other, and the band encourage an ethos that says ‘it’s good to be me, but it’s better to be us.’

Originally formed in Leeds, TC & The Groove Family’s sound reflects the diverse musical and cultural backgrounds at the core of the project, with songs exploring grooves and genres including afrobeat, broken beat, jungle, jazz and grime. Their music has drawn widespread acclaim, supported by tastemakers including Jamz Supernova and Craig Charles on BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing West Yorkshire, Jazz FM, Rinse FM, Radio FIP and more. Known for their live performances, the group have performed at the likes of Glastonbury, We Out Here, Greenman and Boomtown, as well as selling out shows across the UK.
