Coolest band EVER! Seriously… Picture the Bob Marley meets the Bad Brains with a twist of P.O.D., and you’ve got the Fear Nuttin’ Band.

Bringing back the big band, two-vocalist line-up of the late 90s, Roosta and Prowla (both of whom sing in Jamaican accents) compliment one another perfectly with verse-by-verse trade-offs of epic proportions and backed by one of the most innovative bands in Modern Rock.

Take what P.O.D. and Sublime both try to do and add authentic Rastafarians to the mix, and you’ve got “Yardcore,” the Fear Nuttin’ Band’s first major label offering.

“Enemy” leads the album with a bang, mashing political Reggae with distorted guitars and a groovy back-beat, and slams right into the groove metal track, “Rule The World.” Picture a Sevendust song sung in a Jamaican accent…. Very cool!

“Dun Di Place” and “Police State” are political, intriguing, catchy and innovative.

“Pon Di Block,” is the ballad of the album. Very cool track, reminiscent of the stylees of 311 and Sublime, except better and more innovative.

Fear Nuttin’ Band – “Pon Di Block”



“Vibes” and “Runaway” are extreme delves into Nu-Metal, except crossing its strict boundaries with a Jamaican twist.

“Fears,” the happiest song on “Yardcore,” mixes reggae and pop-punk. Very poppy, and very catchy.

“No” carries on the political torch of “Yardcore.” The track is 50% happy/poppy sounding, and 50% anti-authority, making the perfect combination of hooks and social conscience.

“Champagne,” a fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy banger, picks up and drops off at “Can’t Get Mi Weed,” a token legalize it song! (Every good Reggae band has to have one of those).

“Friends” and “Real Music” close the album, but trust me, you’re going to want to listen to this album for the rest of the summer. Buy it!!!!!!!
