Since their inception in San Diego, California, Tribal Seeds has become a formidable force in the global reggae scene. Over their 19-year career, the band has toured extensively, connecting with fans and fellow musicians across continents, driven by the spiritual and cultural essence of reggae music. With the release of their latest album, Ancient Blood, on February 9th, 2024, Tribal Seeds continue to solidify their legacy.

Tribal Seeds has produced a rich discography that includes four full-length albums, two EP’s and a live album, amassing over 1.3 billion song streams across all music platforms. Their music resonates deeply with audiences, thanks to their robust touring life that has taken them to Europe, South America, New Zealand, Mexico, Guam and Aruba. Even the global pandemic couldn't halt their creative momentum, leading to the innovative live album Live: The 2020 Sessions, which captured the resilience of the band and their commitment to their fans.

Ancient Blood, their most recent release, marks a significant chapter in Tribal Seeds' musical journey. The album has been lauded for its blend of traditional reggae roots and contemporary influences, featuring collaborations with legendary artists such as Twinkle Brothers, Kabaka Pyramid, Romain Virgo, Hollie Cook, and showcasing the band's growth and versatility.

The band's rise to prominence began early, with their 2008 self-titled album debuting at #1 on the iTunes Reggae charts and winning the San Diego Music Award for Best Reggae/World Album. Their songs “In Your Eyes” and "Dawn of Time" remain two of their highest-streamed tracks with over 275 million plays combined. Each subsequent release has continued this trend of success, with The Harvest (LP) cracking the Top 5 on Billboard Reggae, Soundwaves (EP) debuting at #2, and Representing debuting at #1 on iTunes, Amazon and Billboard Reggae charts.

As Tribal Seeds continues to push the boundaries of reggae music, their dedication to their roots and their fans remains unwavering. For more information about Tribal Seeds and their latest album Ancient Blood, visit their official website at www.tribalseeds.net.

The Movement has been winning the hearts and minds of alternative-reggae fans since their inception in Columbia, SC in 2003. Drawing inspiration from Sublime, 311, Slightly Stoopid and John Brown’s Body, they’ve made a name for themselves as reggae shapeshifters with a foundation of heavy drum and bass. Today the band consists of founding member, lead vocalist and guitarist Joshua Swain, bassist Jason Schmidt, drummer Gary Jackson, keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Matt Goodwin and saxophonist/percussionist Kyle Jerome. Their seventh studio album, Ways of the World (2019) debuted at #1 in the Billboard Reggae Chart, and it remained in the Billboard Reggae Top 10 for more than 40 consecutive weeks. The band’s eighth (and latest) studio album Always with Me – released in 2022 on the band’s R4RE Records imprint – explores new musical territory while staying true to their champion sound. Featuring collaborations from their influences-turned-peers, Slightly Stoopid, Iration and Clinton Fearon, and contemporaries HIRIE and Soom T, for The Movement, the only path is forward; pushing the boundaries and the future of reggae.
