Lee Bains - guitar, vox, songs

"Bains likes to rock. He and the Glory Fires wrap his commentaries, ruminations, and invective in what he calls “real Alabama rock ’n’ roll,” a raging burnpile of garage and Southern rock, dirty, supercharged blues and soul, Stonesy groove, Crazy Horse howl, and punk slam. With these songs, Bains surely wants to make you think; he surely will make you shake." - The Boston Globe

Communicating Vessels' recording artists Shaheed and DJ Supreme are one of hip hops' most consistent groups. Hailing from Birmingham, AL Shaheed and DJ Supreme don't fit the mold of most typical dirty south artists as they are practitioners of traditional boom-bap hip hop. They've already released two critcally acclaimed LPs (Health Wealth & Knowledge of Self and Scholar Warrior (The Remix Album) which showcases Shaheed's sharp lyrical prowess and DJ Supreme's soulful production. As a group, Shaheed and DJ Supreme has shared stages with Raekwon, DJ Shiftee, The Bodega Brovas and Stalley, as well as label mates The Green Seed. Their albums boast guest appearances from artists such as Akil the MC (of Jurassic 5), Amir Sulaiman, and W. Ellington Felton. Their highly anticipated 3rd LP Knowledge Rhythm and Understanding will be released soon on Communicating Vessels.
