Bio
........ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .......... The New School Dropouts infuse reggae overtones with a new-rock movement searching for deeper, head-bouncing bass grooves and soulful, conscious lyricism. Wailing, in-your-face trombone licks add a standout dimension to their sound, and flares of light hip-hop showcase the New School Dropouts' ability to break out of the rock-genre barrier. Fans of Sublime appreciate the New School Dropouts' rock-steady and dancehall rhythms. Their harmonious lyrical exchange and chomping guitar distortion are compared to the likes of 311, and the New School Dropouts' seamless transition to roots reggae draws inspiration from many reggae legends such as Bob Marley. Formed in 2003, this "rock-a-dub" crew from Florida's east coast sparks with high energy and good vibes in the midst of their laidback, beachside lifestyle. When hurricanes destroyed 3 member's houses in 2004, the New School Dropouts never put down their instruments. Their music provided an escape from the reality of loss and fueled their drive to rock more house parties and venues throughout Florida. In 2005, they received airplay on Orlando's rock station 105.9FM and were named O-Rock's Band of the Week. In 2006, the New School Dropouts won bids to play at the Atlantis Music Fest Showcase in Atlanta and the Florida Music Festival in Orlando. Later that year, Eastern Surf Magazine selected their album Bring Back Shaka as the "Pick of the Month", and their growing popularity in Florida was solidified when the song "Tragic Dub" was added to Orlando's 101.1FM WJRR's nightly rotation. Additionally, the New School Dropouts provide a stamp of professionalism as rock-reggae artists having performed with reggae legends Damian Marley, Third World, Toots and the Maytals, UB40 and Inner Circle. The New School Dropouts' debut album Bring Back Shaka was released in 2006 and features 16 original tracks. The word "shaka", a Hawaiian term often used by surfers, means "everything's cool". Armed with an energetic live show, Bring Back Shaka should prove to be a powerful weapon as the New School Dropouts mobilize and prepare to bring their music to the people…so tune in and dropout! ................Try the ..BEST.. ..MySpace Editor.. and ..MySpace Backgrounds.. at ..MySpace....
