Product Description

Reggae Dubrock from the south, straight out of Savannah, GA. Passafire mixes up many different genre's effortlessly, while concentrating on reggae, they even manage to slip a little bluegrass. Four years and multiple tours since their inception in the spring of 2003, the Savannah GA based reggae-rock outfit Passafire has enjoyed growing national recognition. Their 2006 self-titled release and energetic live performances have created a noteworthy buzz on the east coast. We are all proud of the level we have reached in this short amount of time, says drummer Nick Kubley. They attribute their success to a truly independent business model. Management, booking, recording, even promotion and publicity are all handled in-house and under their LLC. None of us just play our instruments. We all have several jobs within the organization says Ted Bowne, lead singer and guitarist. Combining roots reggae, progressive rock and experimental dub, Passafire has created an accessible sound all their own. Nick Kubleys tight and versatile drumming paired with his brother Wills innovative, effects heavy bass work creates a textured rhythmic backdrop. Ted Bownes soulful dubbed out vocals and solid guitar licks mesh seamlessly with Adam Williss vintage keys and colorful synths. All together, the members of Passafire create a full, well-structured sound with memorable melodies, hard-hitting breakdowns and thoughtful lyricism. Their vocal harmonies are as precise as every other aspect of this bands sound. The near future looks bright for Passafire. They have earned the attention of heavyweights within the genre, and are slated to tour nationally this fall to promote their upcoming sophomore release. This is a really exciting time for us says Adam. We cant wait to get on the road and make some new fans. 1 Divide2 Bell Jar3 Mr. Massive4 Asteroid5 Fix Again6 Who You Know7 Submersible8 Ghost Man9 Kilo10 Unfamiliar11 Little Ship12 Reverie

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahhh....a breath of fresh air..., January 31, 2008

By	Josh (Bucks County, PA) - See all my reviews

I first heard about theses guys when it was announced they would open for Pepper on their tour.After hearing streaming samples of their songs, I was hooked.I saw them live at the Electric Factory in Philly and man, oh man, were they awesome.I bought submersible and the guys even all signed it for me.Really chill dudes.Anyway, as a fan of dub reggae(like Sublime, Long Beach Dub Allstars/Shortbus) and bands like Pepper, I can definately say these guys stand way out from the rest.Their melodies are catchy as hell and the lyrics are well written(and sang).And they even have a keyboardist that adds to the magic.I hope to hear much more from these guys in the future.
Fav. tracks are Divide,Fix Again,Who You Know,Submersible, and Ghost Man
