Top Shotta Band is Brooklyn's newest rockers/dub reggae outfit. Led by trumpeter/dub scientist/producer djMush1 (formerly of the Slackers, Murphy's Law, and The Scorchers, and currently of Tunnel One Radio [WNYU 89.1fm NYC], Al Paragus HQ studios, When Dance Was Nice, and Hungry March Band, Top Shotta Band features a 4-pc horn section, a full 4-person riddum section, and two percussion players, as well as the inimitable Screechy Dan [original Big Yard/Shaggy Posse] on vocals. With a powerful, soaring, and versatile vocal style, at times invoking r&b/soul greats such as Frankie Lymon, Screechy Dan's vocals have taken Top Shotta Band's music to the next level. Top Shotta hits the listener with a wall of sound, featuring horn-laden rockers reggae, wet with reverb, echo and DUB. Top Shotta Band features original instrumental and vocal music written by the band, and in addition, brings new life to classic riddums with inventive soloing and heavy percussion. A long time in the making, Top Shotta Band featuring Screechy Dan is the groups debut double vinyl LP. Recorded, mixed, and produced at Al Paragus HQ in Flatbush by dub scientist Mush1, this LP captures the live feeling of the band, with the the classic, authentic old-school vibe of classic dub reggae. In addition, the album also features the great Vic Ruggeiro (of the Slackers) on piano, keyboard, organ, and synthesizer, featured both as a member of the riddum section, as well as a lead instrument on some of the dub instrumentals. Its safe to say that pretty much no one is currently recording or releasing music that sound like this - if you love original roots reggae, lovers rock, and dub, you are going to love this album of original music in the classic style!
