Manchester-based soul group Pieces of a Man, which is made up six members, electronically manipulates and pushes the sonic boundaries of a traditional soul band. The band’s unique mix of instrumentation and self-sample manipulation creates a rich, textured sound that blends hiphop, funk, and neo-soul sounds. POAM’s inspirations and favorite company can be found in the artists they have opened for, including Bilal, Jarrod Lawson, Jarrod Henry’s Funk Apostles and Omar. Soundcrash’s Funk:
