"Insanity"
Reggae


The world as it is

This loud, furious full-bodied record by Melbourne reggae band, Echo Drama attempts to recreate the madness and chaos going on around the world today - and it does so perfectly. It varies vastly in terms of performance styles - from machine gun rap flows and wild rock 'n' roll style instrumentation to slow singing, hip hop drums, short bursts of soul and graceful harmonies, sometimes all at the same time. It's featured on the 9 piece Australian outfit's latest album, "Before It All Ends" which was released to critical acclaim back in February.

The gateway to Heaven

Melbourne, Australian 9 piece band, Echo Drama's 14 track album, "Before It All Ends" was released to critical acclaim as expected just over 2 months ago. Even with the amazing track record of the band it has still somehow managed to take reggae music fans and critics aback, leaving many lost for words.

When this track hits you, you'll instantaneously feel no pain. It's groovy with a powerful bass line that almost immediately makes it completely impossible to stay still, it's very soulful and it's full of life. It is very busy and vibrant instrumentally, with an utterly exciting, tropical feel about it that is grossly overpowering in a good way. It is one of those records that is guaranteed to brighten up your day or liven up your mood no matter the circumstance. Add this to your quick pick-me-up playlists.

You are not ready for this

Forget about n*ggas and bitches (or whatever you call other people), power and money, riders and punks (or whatever you call winners and losers), forget about which side you are on. Forget about everything you've considered good music over the past decade. Forget about Dre, and everything that came after. This album is about to take you back to the era of Bob Marley and the Wailers and then catapult you into a distant future where time stands still and only good vibes reign. It'll take you to a place in your mind where there's peace and harmony, justice for all and artistic integrity in the music industry. Released on the 7th of February by Melbourne, Australia's critically acclaimed 9 piece reggae band, Echo Drama, this exquisitely crafted, masterfully orchestrated, 14 track album is a monumental release that will go down in the history books as one of the best reggae albums of the decade, and possibly of all time.

"Smoke"
Reggae


God put this here for you, and me

Australian reggae band, Echo Drama, one of the biggest bands of its kind in a long time, with a whopping 9 members just released a brand new album that has Melbourne's reggae fans on their knees. It's received so much praise left, right and center we thought we'd hold back on listening to it and take a quick look at some of their earlier works so that we are adequately prepared for what has been described as a monumental moment in reggae music. To give you an idea of how satisfying this band is to listen to, just imagine each of its nine members is Bob Marley playing 8 different instruments while singing at the same time - to cut a long story short - they'll take you higher than Fela Kuti, liberate your mind completely, make you see God, and then bring you back and tuck you in for a good night's rest, which you'll need for your brain to recover from all the organic sonic goodness.

"Smoke" is the first track on their "Bury The Weapons" EP, a five track album that earned them a spot right at the top of Australia's reggae music scene as one of the top new bands to watch. It was a record that not only defined their sound in its purest form, but also introduced fans to a cutting edge reggae sound that would never be replicated by any other band.
