For the Many

UB40

Heavy basslines and political grit meet the band's signature brass. A return to 1970s roots reggae textures inspired by modern social tensions.

A serious and rhythmically dense return to roots reggae that balances social anger with a steady, soulful groove.

Moments Worth Listening For
The deep, cavernous dub space that opens up during the bridge of Gravy Train.
The mournful, soaring saxophone solo that cuts through the dense rhythm section on All We Do Is Cry.
The way the percussion locks into a hypnotic, 1970s-style roots shuffle on The Keeper.
