Yes REALITY,
that's similar to Australia.
Most of the bands here that have reggae in their sound are blends - reggae and funk a little hip-hop & gypsy style, yet often call themselves reggae.
The soundsystem culture here is definatley spreading tho & has a really good foundation in Melbourne.

I am running a sound called Rub A Dub Sound in Byron Bay - no dubplates yet but plenty of 7" juggling from old to new, roots to rub a dub to dancehall.


So would yo say in Isreal, the soundsystem or the bands get a better crowd/ crowd responce???
In Australia for a large majority, it is bands that people want to see...
