Living Colour: Nailing Their Colours To The Mast
Mat Snow, Sounds, 24 September 1988
Living Colour's world vision may be in glorious technicolour, but they're the first to admit that a black rage sweeps through their music. Mat Snow meets the men who are spearheading the rebirth of black rock 'n' roll and discovers their fierce determination to break down racial barriers.
