Cornerstone Roots Brief History
Cornerstone Roots are an enduring entity within the New Zealand music industry. From their humble beginnings in Raglan, to the revered and respected band they are today. The band posses a list of admirable
achievement’s coupled with the fact they have played along side some of the biggest named reggae artist’s in the world. The band has remained loyal to their beliefs and their love of true grass root’s reggae music.
The band was formed in 2001 after a session at the infamous Raglan Musician’s Club, and consisted of a 3-piece outfit. They quickly developed a strong local following with many of their early show’s being filmed and recorded by fans. This prompted the band to record their first EP “One Fine Day” and proceeded to tour provincial New Zealand where the café’s were crammed and live show’s intense.
The following year they recorded their debut album “Soul Revolution” that was described by reviewers as “brilliant” and “impressive”. The album was recorded in Wellington with engineer Lee Prebble at Surgery Studio’s, where the rhythm tracks were recorded live in one weekend. The album release was complimented with a 20-date tour of the country, and climaxed at the Wellington Town Hall supporting powerhouse rhythm section Sly n Robbie.
2004 saw the band cross the Tasman 8 times with the release of the “Forward Movement” EP, which was nominated for best root’s bnet release the following year. Veteran Studio One DJ Rankin Joe also featured over cut’s off the EP. These remix track’s are still to be released sometime in the future.
Cornerstone Roots have supported such heavyweight reggae acts as Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, Sly n Robbie with Michael Rose, Jimmy Cliff, Lee Scratch Perry, Mad Professor, and very recently supported The Original Wailers from the ionic and legendary Bob Marley and The Wailers fame.
In 2007 the band released their long awaited and much anticipated second album “Free Yourself” which quickly found its way into the Top Ten Independent releases, and was in the Top Ten Indie Album sale’s for that year. The band has continued to gain many fans not only in Australasia but also throughout the world.

Roots Tonic meets Bill Laswell Roots Tonic meets Bill Laswell in a free dub reggae MP3 download
- From: Dubman
-
Description:
Matisyahu's band Roots Tonic mix it up with mix master DJ Bill Laswell in Roots Tonic meets Bill Laswell . Grounded in their hit making dub reggae sound, the artistic collective steps off the beaten path, forgoing vocals to instead wander in a dense sonic landscape of instrumentation and layered effects. Laswell has described the work as "a futurist space/dub transmission in which the spirit of Roots Radics, Sly & Robbie and Scientist gets re-electrified and blown to new proportions."The dub reggae track, Akademikus Du Umbeigu, is available for free download from Download.com (7.1MB download).
Anyone listening to contemporary reggae music has heard Roots Tonic, whether they know it or not, because they're Hasidic reggae artiste Matisyahu's band. Producer Bill Laswell is the perfect complement for Roots Tonic, having produced Matisyahu's Youth, which hit the Billboard top 10. Laswell has a reputation as a producer who successfully blends world music sounds into other genres. His collaborations include work with Sly & Robbie, Fela Kuti, Afrika Bambaataa, Mick Jagger, Brian Eno, John Zorn, Peter Gabriel, George Clinton, Herbie Hancock, Iggy Pop, and others. He has also remixed some of Bob Marley's work.
After recording Youth with Matisyahu and Roots Tonic, Laswell was so impressed by the trio's sound that he invited them to a separate recording session, which they were more than ready for. Roots Tonic back Matisyahu in the same way the Wailers backed Bob Marley, playing a key role in his sound and success. Roots Tonic members include Aaron Dugan on guitar, Josh Werner on bass, and Jonah David handling drums. During their time with Matisyahu, the trio recorded albums with him, played the energetic live shows that have built his rep and even going wrote some of his hit songs.
The resulting work combines the best of a live Matisyahu show with the best of a great dub album, as Laswell accentuates Werner's bass lines with echoing guitar and drum effects and the addition of synths and samples. In their review, Download.com notes that:
With Laswell serving as studio lion Lee "Scratch" Perry to Roots Tonic's Upsetters, Josh, Jonah and Aaron have created a living, breathing disc of instrumental reggae, as funky as, say, the classic "Macka Dub" by the Barrett Brothers (Aston "Family Man" Barrett & Carlton Barrett, The Wailers' rhythm section).
You can get the full Roots Tonic Meets Bill Laswell album on Amazon.com. It's also available as an MP3 album for USD $7.92.
The product is a fine addition to America's growing field of modern dub superstars, including Dub Trio, Dr. Israel, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant, Heavyweight Dub Champion, Systemwide, Goathead, Dub Nomads, and Future Pigeon, as well as contemporary reggae acts such as Matisyahu himself, whose most famous albums include Youth and Live at Stubbs, which has gone gold.

Dubconscious in NYC on 10/1 Dubconscious in NYC on 10/1
- From: Dubman
-
Description:
Dubconscious, my brother’s reggae band, is touring through NYC and playing at Sullivan Hall on Wednesday October 1st. If you’re interested, please join us and meet my cooler, balder, far-mellower brother. They're building a following around their socially-conscious reggae/jam band style and have played shows and smoked bowls with The Wailers, Burning Spear, Easy Star AllStars, Mad Professor, etc.Glide Magazine writer Jamie Lee describes the band's beginnings: "In 2003, Dubconscious released its debut offering, Word of Life, which received ample response and exposed the rootsy foundation from which the band's live forays grow. Two years later, the group followed up with The American Dream, a sprawling, 21-song collection bolstered by intoxicating dub, socially conscious lyrics, and a feel-good vibe that has made the band a hit on the club scene across the southeast."
Valley Planet writer Jennifer Daniel encourages reggae fans to "turn it off - your television that is - and tune in to Dubconscious, the Athens, Ga.-based reggae sextet. Rouse the Rasta within and heighten your social senses while celebrating." She goes on to explain that "progressive reggae in the Lee 'Scratch' Perry category, combined with the social drive of Burning Spear, set this young reggae ensemble apart from their contemporaries."
The show opens at 730 and Dubconscious goes on around 10. Tickets are $10. Show info is at http://www.sullivanhallnyc.com/artists/dubconscious.htm.
Band info is at http://www.dubconscious.com.
Hope to see you there!

- From: Dubman

Description:
Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945 in St. Ann, Jamaica . Even long after his death, he remains the king of reggae - his music continues to top reggae charts and his children The Melody Makers continue his legacy.
Bob Marley moved to Kingston during his teenage years, living in the Trench Town area. He initially was apprenticed to become a welder, but quickly found his true love: music. In 1964, at the age of 19, he formed the Wailing Wailers with Neville Livingston, AKA Bunny Wailer and Winston McIntosh, AKA Peter Tosh . They later shortened the name to The Wailers and formed the Tuff Gong music label in 1970. In 1974 the group disbanded and Marley formed a new group titled Bob Marley and the Wailers. He died of cancer in 1981.
In addition to his many chart-topping reggae hits, Marley has received Jamaica's Order of Merit for his musical contributions and 2 official Marley statues stand in Jamaica.
His birthday is being celebrated around the world. The Jamaican Observer has details.
