A Lil About The Bands:
* Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad- “It’s exciting to work with talented people outside the strict structure of a band,” says
bassist/singer James Searl of Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad (GPGDS). That statement rang true during the creation of their diverse new album Love In Time, which comes out April 7 th via
Easy Star Records. Influenced by the need for more social and personal connection during the pandemic, GPGDS wanted to lean into the “squad” in their name by working and collaborating
with artists outside of their tight knit circle. Their powerful first single “Chants” exemplifies the approach with the help of legendary vocalist Clinton Fearon (of Gladiators fame) and
Ghanaian atenteben player Dela Botri.
*Signal Fire- Signal Fire has been blazing a trail in the US reggae scene for the past decade. Hailing from the East Coast, in the coastal town of Wilmington, NC, the rock-reggae outfit has been steadily making a name for themselves with a DIY approach and dedication to their craft. Since forming in 2013, Signal Fire has released 4 full length albums of modern roots reggae music. Their sophomore album, “Lift Up” (Mixed & Co-produced by Llamar “Riff Raff” Brown) reached #1 on the iTunes Reggae Charts. The bands third album “Wake Up” (produced & mixed in their home studio by the bands frontman, Sean Gregory) reached #8 on the Billboard reggae charts. Their latest body of work “Rhythm of Life” is a collection of songs recorded and released during the pandemic and has become their best received album to date. Signal Fire’s music is constantly evolving, with a maintained focus on positive and thoughtful lyrical content.
