Have had the privilege of witnessing these guys in the VIP section of a recent Falls Festival. They cite Punky Reggae Party, the famous reggae compilation as a key influence. It shows because they incorporate reggae into their music. Emphasis on the off-beat and bongo drums. Instrumental breaks that just disappear into a void of jamming. It really showcases that reggae is just like any other music, but the main thing that typifies it musically is that rhythm on the off-beat. The rest of it is just like any other music.
