On Your Feet

Livest Shit

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, the seven piece “Reggae / Rap / Rock” fusion, Shrub, has been rapidly gaining momentum and building a solid national fan base since being voted by readers as High Times Magazine’s Unsigned Band of the Month in September of 2010.

Recently, Shrub released their first full length album, Highceratops, which debuted in the Top 10 on the iTunes Reggae Charts. The album features guest appearances by C-Money from Slightly Stoopid, Dubmatix, and Kimberly Freeman from One-Eyed Doll.

The band garners comparisons to artists like: Sublime, The Dirty Heads, Atmosphere, Gym Class Heroes, and G. Love, but Shrub maintains an innately unique and raw sound all their own. With the addition of new guitar player, Kevin Oliver, former member of the world’s funkiest band, Parliament/Funkadelic (George Clinton), Shrub’s sound has now quickly become full-grown.

“The Midwest has long been a hotbed for successful rap artists, but Shrub’s eclectic fusion of rap, reggae, and rock brings a whole new flavor to the scene.”

Lyrics:
For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

I never took too much I always had enough
In the palm of my hand held on by a clutch
No rush nothing we can't touch
Safe to say we stayed in this place where we wanna stay
From our darkest days to the parks we played
We tried to make the best of what we could everyday
And that's enough for us to love no rush to judge
Or jump the gun who wants to run amuk
And all the people came down and back around
We keep our feet firmly planted on the solid ground
Another day another dollar trapped by the collar
Working class working so hard breaking backs for scholars
Another news flash same cycle
If this was all written down what's the title
And could it lead our generations to greatness
And give us understanding in life so we can make it

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

When our souls speak and when our eyes weep
Feeling of emotion to this life we're devoted
Like a shepherd and sheep debts deep as the sea
Always overcoming and bridging the gap in between
And on the same page only a few
Everyone's got their own books to choose
That's the reason for the seasons changing
Times keep rearranging keep the pages turning
From the modern to the ancient
Patience a virtue ya use it to break through
Chilling out and we all way out past curfew
And these books are over due
Seeking the same cycle to reach success
But what if theres nothing left

For too long my people getting shut down
We'll tell them all that it's time to rise up now
And we can groove about it sometime in this life
Take me back to that home where I wanna stay
It don't matter take my rent take my bills away
And we can groove about it sometime in this life

Loud Enough

The Movement - Loud Enough

Sol Seed brings a distinct sound combining the best elements of Reggae, Rock, Hip Hop and Psychedelic Jam to form a positive musical fusion that is uniquely their own. With conscious, thought-provoking lyrics, infectious reggae-laden grooves and high-energy, impressive live performances, Sol Seed creates an unforgettable live-music experience for people of all ages to enjoy.
Since transplanting to Eugene from Southern Oregon three years ago, Sol Seed has swiftly gained powerful momentum in the NorthWest music scene, creating a diverse and loyal fan base all over Oregon, Hawaii, Washington, Montana and California. They have been awarded Eugene WOW Hall Awards "Best New Act" 2011 and "Favorite Local Band" 2012 and 2013, in addition to "Eugene's Best Band" two years running by Eugene Weekly readers, and recently won the prestigious title "Next Big Thing", another Eugene Weekly award.
Dominating the NW summer festival circuit including Oregon Country Fair, North West World Reggae Festival, Kaleidoscope, Jefferson State Hemp Expo and more, Sol Seed has also shared the stage with national acts such as Ziggy Marley, Slightly Stoopid, The Green, Karl Denson, Pepper, The Expendables, Pacific Dub, Nappy Roots, Heavyweight Dub Champion and many more. 
After a number of small EP releases, the group released their first full-length album "Grown Deep" in September 2012, which immediately gained air-time on a number of radio stations all over the West Coast as well as the Hawaiian islands. 
After a very successful 2013 Kickstarter campaign to fund their next album release, "Family Tree", Sol Seed is in the studio with the full-lungth studio album slated for a Spring of 2014 release. 

This Oregon based band got their start in early 2010 when songwriters Michael Lennon and Michael Sorensen joined hands with fellow friend and musician Benny Pezzano through a Southern Oregon open mic. An undeniable synergy was all but tangible as their creative forces coalesced, and they immediately began to grow a diverse collection of original music. They soon joined with Native American Award winning guitarist, Kenny Sequoia Lewis, and in October 2010, transplanted to Eugene to pursue life and music, where soon after they linked up with MC, Didgeridoo player and percussionist Sky Guasco. With 5 members, each member boasting very different influences and skill sets, Sol Seeds depth and volume of sound increased exponentially.
With day-jobs being an ancient memory, the close-knit members of Sol Seed have fully embraced the band that has created much more- A movement, a lifestyle.  
With an infectious enthusiasm for life and an unequivocal knack to communicate its beauty, the group shares their message of perspectivism and unconditional love through uplifting music rooted in the soul. Sol Seed has certainly dug their roots. Coming to a city near you!
