Reviews & Testimony
Do you ever wonder about things say for example what would Misty In Roots sound like if they merged with Morgan Heritage? Well my guess is that they would sound like this. The singing and songwriter is so strong. Roots tunes, love tunes and reality tunes.
Review by Ray Hurford - SMALL AXE magazine, London
Few American-based reggae bands have shown the commitment and dedication of The Ark Band, whose latest release Love is What We Need (Ark Band) is a textbook example of what's best in American-based reggae. Whether the subject matter is "Pain and Misery," "Drive By Shooting" or "Rastafari", the uplifting intent of the lyrics is underpinned by a pulsing rhythmic structure and melodic surface with tight vocals augmented by harmonies, tasty guitar and organ fills and percussive invention. Co-produced by the band and Iawatha "Amha" Selassie and mixed and mastered by the legendary Jim Fox of Lion and Fox Recording Studio, this is an impressive set of music from a band that's ready to break out into the mainstream without losing any of its roots.
