Uplifting reggae meets fist-pumping punk rock sprinkled with trippy dub adventures.

THE GARRISON
Brittle, raucous year zero punk rock dragged kicking and screaming back into 2011; tempered with rough’n’ready, skank-friendly reggae and dub.

REBOOT THE ROOTS BAND
Reboot the Roots is a charity working to promote the inclusion of the socially excluded – recovering drug users, the stateless, the underprivileged, young offenders and those living with HIV/AIDS. We support the ideals of universal human rights and humanisation and believe everyone should be free to participate in society.
Yes, they have a BAND!
