A Canadian trio that blended reggae, punk, and ska into a sound that reached international ears.
For a quick sense of their style, 'Brutal Hearts' and '12:59 Lullaby' frame it well. They're the kind of songs that stick with you after a live show.
They formed in 1998 around a shared love for reggae and punk, which gave their music a distinct pulse from the start. Their 2006 single 'Brutal Hearts' broke through internationally, and songs like '12:59 Lullaby' showed their range within that blend. They've kept that reggae foundation steady across albums, right up to 'Mass' in 2022.
They started as high school friends in Kingston, Ontario, releasing their debut 'Sounding a Mosaic' in 2004. 'Brutal Hearts' became their breakthrough in 2006, leading to festival slots like Coachella. Their sound has incorporated rock and pop over the years while holding onto that reggae core.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
