UB40 featuring ALI CAMPBELL

Tribal Seeds was formed by two brothers, Steven Rene Jacobo (vocals, guitar) and Tony-Ray Jacobo (producer, keyboard, vocals) and joined by Carlos Verdugo (drums), Victor Navarro (bass), E.N Young (keyboards, vocals) and Ryan Gonzo (guitar,vocals). Since forming, they have gained many fans through their refreshing take on rock influenced reggae, focusing more on roots and rocksteady influences to inform their sound, looking back to artists like Black Uhuru, The Congos, Peter Tosh and the Abyssnians.

The band released their self-titled debut album in 2008, named 'Best Of' in an iTunes list of Reggae releases that year. They also received a local award for 'Best World Music' at the San Diego Music Awards. Their second record, "Harvest" (2009) also was named 'Best Of' by iTunes, achieving chart success by reaching number five in the Billboard Reggae Charts.

After several successful tours, the band returned to the studio to record the EP, "Soundwaves" which went to number two on the Billboard Reggae Charts.The band have toured extensively throughout their career, performing across the United States as well as in Mexico and Aruba. They have supported artists including The Wailers, Collie Buddz, Gregory Issacs, Rebelution and a whole host of others.

Their eagerly awaited fourth album came out in 2014, titled "Representing," debuting at number one on the Billboard Reggae Charts and number 114 on the Billboard 200. The album solidified their place in the world of contemporary reggae, as one of the top bands in the scene.

Consisting of four friends, Geoff Weers (guitar/vocals), Adam Patterson (drums/vocals), Raul Bianchi (lead guitar) and Ryan DeMars, The Expendables put a twist on California surf rock, through their heavy reggae influence and punk aesthetic. They began releasing their music independently, with "No Tie To Worry" (2000), "Open Container" (2001) and "Gettin' Filthy" (2004) selling over 40,000 units without any physical distribution or record label support. This success shows the wild popularity of The Expendables' music.

Having performed alongside band Slightly Stoopid, they were signed to front men Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty's new independent label, joining the roster of Stoopid Records. They soon released their self-titled album in 2007, which became hugely popular amongst fans and critics alike.

Following the album release, the band embarked on several tours, joining the likes of NOFX, Less Than Jake and Pennywise on the road. They also supported 311 on their arena tour, playing to huge crowds and gaining many new fans.

After two years of relentless touring, they returned to the studio to record their fifth album, "Prove It," featuring the production talents of Paul Leary (Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Supersuckers). The album was released in May 2010, debuting at number 158 on the Billboard 200, moving to number 15 in the ITunes Top 200 album chart. The band again went on the road following its release before returning to the studio in 2012 to record their acoustic album, "Gone Soft."

The band formed in January 1993 when Garrett Dutton was performing at Boston bar, The Tam O’Shanter, which was where he met drummer, Jeffrey Clemens. They began working together as a duo, and were joined a few months later by bassist Jim Prescott. In 1994 they released their self-titled debut album on Okeh Records. Due to their song “Cold beverage” being played on MTV, the album almost went Gold.

On September 19th 1995, they released their follow-up album “Coast to Coast Motel”, which didn’t sell as much as the first album but it received much better critical acclaim. The band like so many other experienced a little bit of turmoil with each other, causing the band to go on an indefinite hiatus, but returned on October 28th 1997, with “Yeah, It’s That Easy”. It was this album that featured the single, “Stepping Stones”, which made it to number 30 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. The album showcased a prominent soul influence.

Following the release of this album, the band embarked on a world tour but returned to Philadelphia in 1999 for the release of their fourth studio album “Philadelphonic” which was followed again by “Electric Mile” in 2001, which introduced hip-hop, funk, psychedelica, blues and soul. They performed as the house band for Comedy Central’s show Turn Ben Stein On, which ran from 1999-2001. In the summer of 2005, the band featured in an advertisement for the launch of Coca-Cola Zero, which featured the group’s own unique version of the noted Coca-Cola advertising song “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”.
