John Brown's Body's "Future Roots" uses reggae as a foundation,
but incorporates dub, drum & bass, dancehall, hip hop and other
musical explorations to create a sound both timeless and forward.
However it's defined, people are buzzing about this progressive
group from Boston and Ithaca, NY. The eight-piece band's explosive
live show boasts super heavy rhythms, a three-piece horn section,
air-tight drum and bass, and "the most gorgeous melodies in all of
modern reggae music" (All Music Guide). JBB's latest album Amplify
(2008), debuted at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Chart. Their new EP,
JBB In Dub, will be released September 18th on Easy Star
Records.
