Interview with Eric Rachmany from REBELUTION; Playing Syracuse, NY TONIGHT (10/10)!!!
Jamaican feel and West Coast flow: That’s about as good of a description as you’re going to get for a band like Rebelution. With a host of accolades under their belt, this Santa Barbara quintet is currently at the forefront of the modern day reggae movement. Inspiring many like-minded new school Jamaican groove bands, Rebelution has worked very hard to bring their unique brand of freshly ripened jams to the masses.
Interview with Ronnie Ragona from SPRING HEELED JACK; Playing SKALAPALOOZA in select cities!
New Haven, Connecticut’s Spring Heeled Jack USA was a frontrunner of the East Coast Ska Scene during their tenure as a group. Existing from 1991-2001, the septet helped and encouraged the burgeoning Third Wave Ska movement, and made Connecticut’s scene one of the most active and vibrant in the nation. Several members of the third wave group went on to perform with other high profile acts including The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake, and Reel Big Fish among others, true to their Ska roots to this very day. The untimely passing of original drummer Dave Karcich, as well as the difficult and tumultuous world of music business, ultimately led to the group disbanding as of 2002, but the group’s legacy lives on.
Interview with Jared Cole from SURRENDER THE FALL (@sftband); Playing Albany 10/14 and Buffalo 10/17
Memphis, Tennessee’s Surrender The Fall is a band for folks who dig rock anthems. Formed to 2005, STF’s is no stranger to the stage, performing all over the southeast before catching a solid break to showcase for Mr. Luis Bacardi (yea, the guy with the rum) and his entertainment arm. Needless to say, it seems to have worked out in their favor!
