Self touring with 400 shows in 2 years, and self recording with 2500 units sold on with no outside help makes this an indie band in the true sense of the word.
Their combination of Clash-esque Reggae Punk, a dab of South American
rhythms, and a progressive sound independent of classification, wrapped
in an extremely intense live show makes this band a force to be
reckoned with. Selling out shows at home such as the World Café Live
and the 941 Theater (300 cap.). The band has hit premier venues like
The Paradise, Nectars, Higher Ground, The Visulite Theater (Charlotte
NC) The NorVa, Montage Music Hall, Alleykatz and The Note supporting
bands like Bedouin Soundclash, State Radio, Soulive, Soja, Fear Nuttin
Band, Big D and the Kids Table, Zox, Giant Panda, Jah Works, and Easy
Star Allstars. They have also been featured on Phillys own WXPN, The
River in Boston, and NBC 10’s 10! Show, and have been selected to
showcase at NACA's Northeast Conference.
“The distinct, clear and pure musicality of the album reinforces the technical talent of the musicians and the good ear of a skilled producer, while communicating intelligent lyrics and important social messages.” - Beyond Race Magazine

“Bounce with brains: the reggae moves your hips; their lyrics feed your mind.” - Joe Student, Philly Edge
