Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad
:
Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad is a quintet from Rochester, NY. Their psychedelic roots reggae album "In These Times" was released in April. Over the past six years, GPGDS has performed 800 shows, put out a collection of live albums, and released a roots Americana record titled "Country" (January 2012). "In These Times" was mixed by Billy Hume (Nas, STS9, Ludacris) and dubbed by the band's longtime engineer Joel Scanlon.
"The band's five masterful musicians weave layers of complex music within a reggae framework and may be one of the most diverse bands in the genre." – JamBase

Sonni Shine & the Underwater Sounds
Sonni Shine & the Underwater Sounds have been creating music since the summer of 2009. Heavily influenced by the sound scapes of dub and roots reggae, Sonni and The Sounds have found the perfect fusion of ska, funk, reggae, and rock together with psychedelic improvisation.
Close To Good
A foreign Discotech ablaze, trapped in a dungeon, slugs wrapped around your brain, a hidden killer on the loose.
These are the central themes of the music of Close to Good: the Philly-based quartet of Carl, Dave, Rob & Kevin. A unique mix of heavy dance, jazz, dark, and 8-bit-nostalgia takes audiences to the lunar surface and back.
Over the past year, Close to Good has become most known for their high-energy live performances that deliver an aggressive burst of progressive dance-funk that often builds into a tightly composed tension-release, peaking in kick-driven melodic reprisals of their distinct central lyrical themes.
Their continually honed sound is beginning to find itself lying somewhere near the edge of space-time, transporting listeners to the buzzing land of Transylvania where the quartet is playing the anthem for the battle of the century between Dracula and Megaman.
