1. A roots reggae band from Jamaica
2. A straight edge metalcore band from Florida, US
1. Culture was a Jamaican roots reggae group founded in 1976. Originally they were known as the African Disciples.
The members of the trio were Joseph Hill (lead vocals), Albert Walker (backing vocals) and Kenneth Dayes (backing vocals).
Shortly after Culture came together, they began working with the "Mighty Two" – producer Joe Gibbs and engineer Errol Thompson. While at Gibbs’ studio, they recorded a series of powerful singles, many of which ended up on their debut album ‘Two Sevens Clash’. After their success with Gibbs, the group went on to make a string of albums for producer Sonia Pottinger. Culture began working with some of the premier musicians of the day including Robbie Shakespeare, Sly Dunbar, Ansel Collins, Cedric Brooks and the ever-present percussionist Sticky. Virgin Records picked up the albums, and that added distribution enabled Culture to gain an even larger following outside of Jamaica.
Critically considered one of the most authentic traditional reggae acts, at the time of the first Rolling Stone Record Guide publication, they were the only band of any genre whose every recording received a five-star review (of bands with more than one recording in the guide).
In 1982 the three singers went their own ways. Hill carried on using the Culture name, and recorded the Lion Rock album, which was released in the United States by Heartbeat Records. For their part, Walker and Dayes recorded a handful of songs on their own – a few of which turned up on an album titled Roots & Culture. In 1986 the original line-up reformed to record two highly regarded albums – Culture in Culture and Culture at Work. These releases marked the beginning of a very busy period for the group, including annual albums and countless tours. The U.S. label Shanachie released a steady stream of new and old Culture albums up to Wings Of A Dove in 1992.
Joseph Hill, who came to symbolize the face of Culture, died in Germany on 19 August 2006 while the group was on tour. His son, Kenyatta Hill, now is the lead singer.
2) Classic mid/late 90s hardcore from Florida, celebrated for, among a handful of others, helping to cultivate the burgeoning metallic hardcore sound that became synonymous with the era.
CULTURE was known for aggressive social/political/ecological commentary, cautionary tales of reckless consumerism and industrial sprawl, and advocacy of the straightedge lifestyle.
Former members went on to Morning Again, Terror, As Friends Rust, Shai Hulud, Throwdown, Blood Has Been Shed and (most recently) ON BODIES.
In 2012, CULTURE played its first show since disbanding in 1998 (The Reel & Restless Fest in Miami, Florida). This fall, in August of 2013, the band will revisit Europe for Belgium's famed Ieper Hardcore Festival, and will then play three dates in Japan, including Tokyo's Bloodaxe Fest.

Culture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ransomed and rescued, we believe
The truth and power of this kingdom
The healing touch that sets us free
There is a hope that we can believe in
There is a love we know by name
Only One that we call worthy
Only One that takes our breathe away
One thousand praises
Could not lift high enough the name of Jesus
Oh we will cry out
With all we have now
To glorify the One we love
We give
You all
The praise that we can bring!
We have come
To abide in
Your grace once again
Whoa, You are the One we love!
Souls made anew to live forever
Our hope resorted to overcome.
Jesus made void the power of darkness
Defeated death with His great love
There is a hope
That we can believe in
There is a love we know by name
Only One that we call worthy
Only One that takes our breathe away
One thousand songs, and
One thousand praises
Could not lift high enough
The name of Jesus
Oh we will cry out
With all we have now
To glorify the One we love
We give
You all
The praise that we can bring!
We have come
To abide in
Your grace once again
Whoa, You are the One we love
The lyrics of Culture's song Love Music is a testament to the freedom, hope, and love that is found in the Kingdom of God. The first few lines of the song tell us that within us, there is a sense of freedom that comes with being believers of Christ. We are reminded that our souls were once ransomed and rescued by Christ, and this gives us the belief in the truth and power of the kingdom. The song goes on to talk about the healing touch that sets us free, attributing all these blessings to Christ.
The chorus of the song is a testament to the love we have for Jesus, and how no amount of songs or praises could ever be enough to lift Him higher. Throughout the song, the band talks about the hope that we have in Christ, knowing Him by name, and acknowledging that He is the only one that deserves our praise. The final verse of the song reminds us that our souls are made anew to live forever; we have hope restored to overcome the darkness with the great love of Jesus Christ.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and inspiring message about the power of Christ's love and the hope and freedom it brings.
