Who is your favorite new roots band?

[JahRumble]

I know we all love the old JA and UK stuff, but who do you guys listen to that are new? Hopefully we can big each other up on some crucial new stuff!!!

i'll start with my favorites:

1. Cultura Profetica
2. Ooklah the Moc
3. Midnite

[ACEtone]

that's probably a bit of a hard sell on this forum - good luck!

Since you are interested in new stuff I won't consider it inappropriate to point you to my Dub (with a rootsy retro flavour) productions:

Yea, I figured it would be... But I know there are some CRUCIAL bands that are playing hard roots nowadays. Not everything good has to be old!!!!!

I agree, but I am biased!
Live crucial rots is such a rare thing. Would love to hear some now...

There is some heavy roots coming out of Hawaii these days, so I was glad to see mention of Dread Ashanti and Ooklah the Moc. I prefer Dread Ashanti's "Rising" to "Beauty of the Sea," but both are must haves. Anything Ooklah does is golden, but "Rearrange Your Positive" is roots/dub/harmony/lyrical perfection.

Also, "Peace in a Time of War" by D.C.'s Soldiers Of Jah Army is sick.

That was my response from this similar thread:
