This band reminds me of a post I've been meaning to start. Does anyone know of a current reggae band with an original/throwback/real roots sound? Funk has Sharon Jones, El Michaels types, Afro-funk has Anti-Balas etc.? What about reggae? Seems like it's corny bands or dancehall and that's it. The only seen a few reggae shows other than new dancehall that were worth a shit. Trinity, Dillinger and Ranking Joe with the Blood and Fire Sound System was ridiculous! The Skatalites circa '92ish were killer. Who's putting down in 'O6? Anyone?
I had the pleasure of doin' a studio session with him years ago. Some of my 'dub commandment' l.p.s were a bit worn out so i asked if he could score me some more.. we went outside to his battered up car and he opened the boot, it was crammed with vinyl top to bottom.. he just handed me a pile which contained the entire 'Dub Commandment' series on vinyl.....free. sweet.

I really couldn't hear a damn thing.
If the sound was better maybe I could get down with it.
Try this on for size instead! Soul Syndicate! FIRE!
