It had male and female vocals and a slow-to-midtempo, mellow beat. Check out my attempt at humming this. It's actually not easy.
I mean people who arent really into reggae how do they react to your music
Bass player be trippin 😆
I discovered them via Spotify during the early days of the pandemic. In some ways I would say they even helped me through that nightmare of a time, especially with Source of Energy album.
What's strange is I never put much thought into who they are. I just assumed they were massive on the scene but as no one was doing anything during the pandemic, tours, shows, etc, I just didn't really research them outside of their discography.
They've worked their way back to the top of my algorithm and I have just been wearing their songs out (happily) and started to try finding tour dates. To my horror, they don't tour. And come to find out that they are criminally small and underrated. They have over 190k monthly listeners but a lot of their songs are under 1 million plays when I figured their production and song quality is equal to that of many great reggae bands.
All that to say what a shame I can't find a single outlet to share my appreciation for their music. Hoping some of you all have found and appreciate their works as well.
EDIT: just found out they started with Scott Woodruff??? (stick figure). Well no wonder I'm obsessed with their sound.
Please leave your thoughts & tips for people who come later

Was looking for some books that maybe you lean into when it comes to positive vibes and changing your outlook
Would love some suggestions
Who was at this bombshell yesterday? Maaan they really screwed the pooch, cannot believe how terrible the sound was.....when there was sound. I really hope they get their shit together for today!
Best performance was Stoopid imo, of course they were the first performance without sound issues. Iration would have been better if they had sound at the beginning of their set.
The festival also deleted the Facebook comments about the sound towards eod yesterday.
This lineup was unbelievable tip to tail both days… Now that being the case I’m willing to put up with a lot of crap.
Locked into a shadeless soccer bowl with no re-entry for 10 hours? Honestly I should have bought sunscreen.
Hour long food truck lines / 20$ school lunch concession cheeseburgers? Whatever I should have ate lunch before coming in.
Sound at baseline reverberating like crazy off the bleachers that the stacks are pointing directly at? I’m sure it can be tweaked / I forgot my earplugs…
But for the love of god if your going to lock up a northeast tour date for literally every artist of an entire genera can you PLEASE give half a f to invest in a pa that works / doesn’t implode in hour 2 of your 2 day festival.
What a great show, no spoilers, more than a calireggae show
