I have an opinion already and am looking for some outside perspective on these bands.

Feel free to give your opinions.

sweet, thanks! Ive been looking around for a lot of good reggae bands, and even though I havent listened to all of them so far, some of these bands are pretty good.

What is the reggae scene like in the rest of the country?

I live in a small town in Indiana and Im in a band that plays reggae. WE won our high school's battle of the bands. I dont know of too many other reggae bands anywhere near me. But i hope to find some soon.

I see more dreads over here at the beach or just driving/walking around than at reggae shows, hehe. We have a group fronted by Ras Gabriel called 4-Word that isn't terrible. There's also Shilo Pa and a band called Revival that people seem to love. This guy isn't really reggae but more 'island' maybe and lots of cheesy R&B, haha not my cup of tea at all. Our keyboard guy just produced his new album. He's hilarious..he looks big and tough but he's such a nice guy - and he's got the total London accent which is funny (he lives there when he's not here, what a rough life, eh?). We always give him **** for sounding like Seal, lol. I guess he really has a strong little following in London and Jamaica...and other tropical island chains. This was like his 8th album or something (The Place 2 Be).
