Rebelution (2014)

Oh yeah.  Time for some ganja at ACL?  Time for some ganja at ACL.  Sounds kind of like a chilled 311 or the reggae and relax parts of Sublime.  Feeling Alright is their top song. 


They also have a songs called So High, Good Vibes, and Lazy Afternoon.  Of the five songs I just heard, every single one has the exact same reggae beat and some happy time lyrics about love or relaxation.  If ACL is going to have that one big weedbox tent like they did a few years ago, I bet these dudes open for Jimmy Cliff.  For what it is, this is pretty solid frat-bros-smoking-joints-on-a-sagging-goodwill-reject-couch-in-the-front-yard-of-a-dilapidated-rent-house-in-Boulder-or-Berkeley-or-Austin kind of vibe.  Not offensive in the slightest, just nothing I’m going to go out of my way to listen to for more than a song.  I wonder if the band is actually one dude with a Casio 2000, where he just hits the DUB BEAT button and then sings some happy time sounds.  If so, more power to him.  YOU THE MAN!
