With an energetic, optimistic approach, James and The Rainbros use Reggae, AltRock, Soul and breezy Folk Pop to come up with its groovy sound. Dig Curtis Mayfield goes to college, learns to play Reggae and listens to a lot of Modern Rock. - Cincinnati CityBeat - September 11, 2009
Combining the reggae/soul of Toots and the Maytals with the folk of Neil Young and sounds of modern indie rock, James and the Rainbros make music that will make you bob your head and shake your ass simultaneously. - Real Detroit Weekly - July 8, 2009
