On Friday, May 31st, The Green performs at Mishawaka Amphitheatre. The sextet will release their new singles “Take Me On” and “Something About It” on May 21st. Both songs will appear on the band’s third album, scheduled for release by Easy Star Records on August 20th. The Green’s last album, Ways & Means, spent four-weeks at #1 on Billboard‘s Reggae Chart.
The Green’s self-titled debut album was named iTunes Best Reggae Album of the Year, and made Billboard‘s 2010 year-end Top 10 Reggae Chart. Shortly after its release, the band began a cycle of heavy touring. Flying to the mainland and traveling the country in support of acts like Rebelution and SOJA, they honed their eclectic blend of reggae and four-part vocal harmonies. After playing all 41 dates of Vans Warped Tour 2012, the Oahu-based group completed a 31-city headlining U.S. fall tour, including multiple sold out dates.
“The Green’s powerful sonic identity fuses late 1970s-era dub-heavy roots reggae (reminiscent of English bands like Aswad and Steel Pulse) with strands of contemporary rock/pop/R&B and sporadic indigenous Hawaiian musical and lyrical references.” – Billboard
