"i have loved Rhythm Corps ever since i saw the video for the song Common Ground. unfortunately, the listening public never really took a hold of this group (the're from Detroit i think). anyway, if you can find a copy of this debut album, do yourself a favor and snag it. strong, soaring vocals, wonderful musicianship, politically driven lyrics (keep in mind, this album came out very early '90's.) and heavy drums make this CD an old island pick. anyway, that's my two cents....i hope somebody out there reads this. i was actually surpirsed amazon even had Rhythm Corpsin their database!peace,cic"

"The late eighties were graced with the company of the Rhythm Corp. Many bands have one or two hit songs, but very rarely do you ever come accross an album that you can listen to full way throug a billion times without ever getting sick of it. From one musician to music lovers, I strongly urge you to check this cd out!!!"

Were U-2 was headed

"Rhythm Corps debut album Common Ground is a desert island pick. It is a shame few people have ever heard of them or this album. First time I heard it 16 years ago, I thought it was U-2. It sounds like a Volume II of the Joshua Tree, solid lyrics, solid instruments and searing vocals. The album is full of energy and politcal protest, This band was a staple in Detroit and throughout Canada, a true one hit wonder, that deserved much better support. Anybody that enjoys politcally charged music needs to check out this album."
