    Press Reviews
    "More and more, it seems like Upsetter-style early reggae is replacing traditional ska as the underground favorite. Here's a good example from The Steady Ups, a California band which concentrates on classic Jamaican rhythms and well-placed melodies and vocals. This track gives voice to the power of reggae guitar, particularly the chicken-pick style popular in the late 60s and early 70s. Smooth and mellow bass line, a sprinkle of piano chords, and we're stylin'. "- Bob Timm of ska.about.com on "Fist of Reggae"
