Blending soulful vocals with rhythmic grooves, the track explores themes of self-discovery, spiritual connection, and creative freedom. With its uplifting energy and ethereal vibe, “Elevation” marks a bold new chapter in HIRIE’s musical journey.

The band’s sophomore album, “Are You Smiling Yet?” blends reggae, rock and pop in a refreshing sound that punches with attitude yet calms you down. We are massive fans of Artikal and watching their evolution on stage and in the studio has been inspiring.

Find new energy with Artikal Sound System’s “Get Me Out”. The talented reggae rockers turn up the pace in this upbeat reggae rock tune that motivates us to push beyond our comfort zones.

The musical giants are no strangers to the road, touring the world to bring music to the people, so it is that much more important to cherish the time we are home with our loved ones. The track is released on Controlled Substance Sound Labs / Slum Beach Records.

Dance the night away with “Our Favorite Song” by Katastro. This is an absolutely incredible song showcasing Katastro’s genre blending sound, and the talent of the late Andy Chaves. The band continues to honor Chaves and they created the track with his original vocals.

Rock out to DENM’s newest anthem “Where I’m Going” featuring Pepper. DENM channels his CALI roots mixing pop-punk and reggae in this song about always moving forward. Kaleo Wassman of Pepper perfectly fits on this track, in a collab we would love to see more of.

Bumpin Uglies prove once again they are punk rock meets reggae heavy hitters in “Lyrics Over Everything”. Bumpin Uglies are amongst the best bands in reggae rock today and I applaud them for this innovative album. Appreciate this album, turn it up loud and know that the band is just getting started with so many powerful songs ahead. Lyrics over everything!

This is such a jam of a song, and I love its energy and message to keep your head up. The track was released by Controlled Substance Sound Labs and is the latest single from Katastro’s final album, Until The End of Time, coming this fall.

Get off the couch and rock out to “Passion is Contagious” by Bumpin Uglies ft. Kyle Smith. The single released by Controlled Substance Sound Labs brings all the energy and motivation that you’ll need to kickstart your day and dominate the tasks ahead.

Start your week going ‘Batshit Crazy’ with Artikal Sound System and Little Stranger. The fun collab via Controlled Substance Sound Labs dives deep into relationship dysfunction in this light hearted singled. Listen and save now!

Album Review: Bumpin Uglies strips it all off with “Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions”, a carefully curated collection of BU past favorites plucked from albums across its discography, supplemented by a handful of new recordings to get lost in for the first time.

Push evil away with Boostive’s “Wickedness” ft. Screechy Dan and Kava Jah. Boostive recently released this irie track on Stoopid Records and it’s a jam! I am especially vibing with the song’s dub filled bass line and the punchy horn section.

Slow down and sing along to Bumpin Uglies “Spinning Plates”. This is such a rad song and another example of the band’s frontman Brandon Hardesty putting out some of the most thoughtful and all around fun music in the reggae rock scene.

Start your day with Artikal Sound System’s “When I Wanna” music video. This track features Little Stranger and is a stand out off the Florida reggae rocker’s amazing “Welcome to Florida” album, which was released via Controlled Substance Sound Labs.

There’s few releases I look forward to more than DENM and Landon McNamara. The first track from the EP, “Wild Trip” was chosen as one of the best tracks of 2022! The full EP is finally out and Slum Beach Posse Vol. 1 does not disappoint.

Find your road and ride with Fortunate Youth’s new single “Into the Dawn” featuring Gil, Migs and Rog. The reggae rockers are starting the year strong with this killer new track. I’m especially vibing with the song’s message of loving your path and the irie drum pattern.

Sometimes taking a trip without much of a plan in place is the best kind and the pairing of Landon McNamara and DENM produced the rocking jam “Wild Trip”. The reggae rock guitar and drum beat made this one of our favorite jams of the year.

“YDKM” is Artikal Sound System’s best single yet! From start to finish the track is a jam, and when I first heard it I couldn’t help but think about listening to Gwen Stefani and No Doubt back in the day. Artikal Sound System frontwoman Logan Rex unleashes her star power and really carries this rocking love song.

Dailyreggae.com caught up with Landon McNamara to learn about the artist’s songwriting process, his amazing new single, “If You Only Knew”, released by Silverback Music / Controlled Substance Sound Labs, and passion for living in the moment.

HIRIE shines in her new single YOUniverse featuring Arise Roots. The single released via Silverback Music’s Controlled Substance Sound Labs highlights an important message about harnessing energy and marrying the past, present, and future. HIRIE collaborated with Karim Israel from Arise Roots and the best word we can use to describe the song’s new music video is majestic. You have to check it out!
