I found them quite by accident. I too was pleasantly surprised. Glad you enjoyed the music. I liked every song, and I loved the majority of them. 🙂 Perhaps even better than Bob Marley himself. 🙂

You might also like this group too same genre:

Rebelution: Free Rein Album

For a change of music genre (Alternative Rock), this is a great album also:

The Score: Atlas Album

I think the album may have been inspired by the Ayn Rand book: Atlas Shrugged. 🙂

You obviously didn’t give it much of a chance. The opening song of the first album is very misleading, to say the least. 🙂

I know Madness very well, and these guys are much better. But hey, hit & run is always the best way to find new music, NOT.

Sorry to have wasted your 10 seconds of listening.

I listened to 10 seconds or so of each clip. I have the attention span of a goldfish so I apologize.

Not my loss, no need to apologize. But they are very good. Perhaps sometime when you have more time, you just might find that out. 🙂
