    No almost about it mate, they kick reggae arse, my fave reggae band.
    If your're a fan of Radiohead, I reccomend you pick up The Easy St Allstars tribute to Ok Computer, Toots Hibbert sings an awesome version of Let Down on there.:)

    Some of my over fave reggae and dub acts are Bob, Max Romeo/the Upsetters, Dillinger, Dennis Brown, Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Peter Tosh, Gregory Issacs, Lee Perry to name a few.:)

    Yeah, what an amazing voice Toots has got! One of my early favorites is "Chatty, Chatty."

    Also, it is GREAT to hear the original "54-46 That's My Number" as I had only ever knew Sublime's version. Fucking awesome!!! I see why Brad wanted to cover it.

    They are new to me and thought they were a new band, since I had never heard of them. They are the opening act for Dave Matthews Band in Virginia in August. I'm excited to see them, now that I've heard how good they are.
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

    Long time fan.


    Nothing like Toots in concert with a bunch of herb flying around. Pearl Jam makes you want to stand up and dance? They can't hold Toot's pants! :)

    On a side note. The Clash do an okay version of Pressure Drop. But Izzy Stradlin does a fucking dyn o mite version of it.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    I really want to catch them in concert now that I am in the know. Too bad they are currently not scheduled to tour my part of the world.
