BBB is an entirely new sound - equal parts Balkan-Med, punk intensity, electronic cool, jazz discipline and hip-hop swagger. "With every record we always want to surprise people and be ahead of the curve," says Ori. "The Balkan Beat Box sound is totally our own. There's not even a name for it yet. We want to go way past trends and always go deeper and wider."

Even though BBB have been traveling the world these past few years, they still retain a very New York attitude: "We can create the BBB sound anywhere - it can be in outer space - as long as we're together in a room," says Ori. "But we're definitely still a New York band, it's where we first got together, where we had our education, our success, everything that defines us. "

After recording their previous albums with large line-ups and guests, the three core members of BBB took a different approach for their new opus "Give": they locked themselves up in a studio, with old analog gear, and came up with a collection of spanking tracks which take their sound to new territories, reminiscent of Afro-Asian-South American electronic club music, while their songwriting has become more focused on socio/politically-charged lyrical content, as exemplified by the first video off the album, "Political Fuck"
