Spearhead Biography
Led by Michael Franti, formerly of 1980s punk band the Beatnigs and early-'90s alt-hip-hop group the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Spearhead took the Heroes' socially conscious hip-hop approach and mixed it with funk, reggae, and pop influences for an eclectic, accessible sound. Spearhead's debut album, 1994's HOME, crossed over to alternative-rock radio with the song "Hole in the Bucket." The band proved durable, scoring its first Billboard top 40 hit 15 years later with the upbeat " While their albums variously leaned closer to one aspect or another of the band's stylistic blend, Franti's highly political lyrical content remained a constant.
