Artist description
For the past two years Urban Uprising has been crafting its sound, bringing together its musical interests and refining them to produce a style that is at once original and a nod to their influences. Urban Uprising is a blend of Reggae, Ska, and Punk music that comes together easily and is akin to the well known LongBeach sound, though completely fresh sounding. |

Artist History
With influences that range from classic, roots era Reggae-particularly its unique “dub” style-to more contemporary acts like Sublime, Pennywise, and NOFX, they transcend musical boundaries easily. This natural ability is evident on their eponymous first album, where the tempo shifts from smooth Reggae to more upbeat Ska to hard Punk beats, and the lyrics touch upon themes of youth , love, and Rasta consciousness. They can just as easily maintain a mellow groove as start a mosh pit, proving their style to be as functional as it is eclectic. With more material already in the works, Urban Uprising is eager to become a regular part Seattle’s diverse music scene, and as their freshman effort shows, there should definitely be a place for them. |
