When it comes to this reggae band out of southern California, what you see is what you get. Their honest, ingenuous style, bolstered by conscientious lyricism and playful musicality, is perhaps best represented by their break-out album Courage to Grow. 2009's Bright Side of Life and this year's Peace of Mind continue to appeal to listeners -- the latter, a three-in-one album including acoustic and dub versions, sold 16,000 copies in its first week.
