Chicago’s funk-soul rebels Sneezy are back with Feed The Funk—a groove-soaked, genre-blurring EP that’s equal parts party starter and soulful odyssey. Out June 6, 2025, the project is now available for pre-order as a deluxe 2-LP vinyl, offering fans a tangible slice of the band’s electrifying chemistry.
Packed with eleven vibrant tracks, Feed The Funk is an audacious display of Sneezy’s genre-defying artistry. The EP flows seamlessly through influences of funk, hip-hop, blues, and rock, showcasing the band’s stellar musicianship and undeniable chemistry. Led by the invigorating single “We Movin’ Up,” the record exudes a feeling of triumph and grit, radiating infectious energy and positivity. The song, lauded by Live For Live Music as “an effervescent banger,” captures Sneezy’s unstoppable spirit and message of perseverance.

A few other standout moments on the album include “Lemonade Stand,” a crowd-favorite from the band’s extensive live repertoire that continues to thrill audiences with its signature blend of playful hooks and irresistible rhythms. Another gem, “Lechuga,” epitomizes Sneezy’s musical range as it transitions from a haunting acoustic opening, layered with harmonica and rich imagery evoking the struggles of western expansion, into a blues-heavy masterpiece that crescendos with a precise and exhilarating instrumental breakdown.

"The eleven tracks on this album are the culmination of a new creative process we collectively developed throughout 2024,” explains Austin Lutter (electric guitar). “Following initial songwriting sessions and rehearsals in February, we took a leap and debuted the entire new catalog live on our Colorado tour in March. Through spring and summer, we workshopped the songs live—fine-tuning the nuances and letting the music evolve naturally. By September, we hit the studio prepared to recreate that live energy on the floor at Echo Mountain.”
The tracks on Feed The Funk were born during a unique week-long band retreat, where each member took turns leading the creative process. The result is a cohesive yet diverse collection of songs that highlight both individual talents and collective synergy. Recorded at the iconic Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC, the EP was crafted under the production prowess of Grammy-nominated Josh Blake, known for his work with genre-spanning legends like Lettuce, Billy Strings, Marcus King, and Eric Krasno. Blake’s expertise shines through each track, capturing Sneezy’s live energy while delivering polished studio magic.
"We absolutely had to record at Echo Mountain again—we tracked our last EP, Flower Child, there and really loved the results. At Echo, there’s a beautiful, great sounding live room where we can capture the full band playing together. That raw energy is everything to our sound, though it’s tricky to get on tape. We transformed Echo into our living room for the week. Josh Blake and Kenny Harrington are absolute wizards, and with Echo Mountain relocating later this year, we couldn’t miss the chance to cut one last album in that legendary room," Lutter added.
Feed The Funk arrives on the heels of a major milestone for the band. Following their electrifying debut on Jam Cruise 21, where Sneezy earned rave reviews as “favorite new discovery” (via JamBase), the group is preparing for an action-packed summer tour. Fans can catch them supporting Pigeons Playing Ping Pong on a four-show run this April, followed by coveted performances at Rooster Walk, Mountain Music Festival, and Northlands Music and Arts Festival, and Burning Daylight. Known for transforming stages into vibrant spaces of connection and joy, Sneezy’s live performances are undeniably a must-see for music lovers. At a time when music feels deeply digital and disconnected, this project arrives as a fresh and defiant testament to the power of live music, instrumentation, and human connection.
Pre-order the 2-LP vinyl edition of Feed The Funk today to be among the first to experience Sneezy’s most adventurous and emotionally compelling work yet. Current projections indicate the shipping date for vinyls is June 6th.
