Rated on Jambase.com as one of the hardest touring bands in 2007, Public Property kicked off 2008 with a tour to Hawaii and is now gearing up for spring, summer, and fall tours of the mainland US. Their much anticipated 4th studio album will be released later this year.
"Public Property has a sound that is full-tilt reggae even though they don't try to sing in fake patois and write original material that actually sounds original. Lots of syncopated rhythm breaks, bursts of pure groove and passionate musical interludes flesh out songs written by various band members . . ." – The Beat Magazine

thanks for playing at el bait on Saturday! My kids loved dancing and we were so happy to bring them to see you play! The kids can't wait to see you at Briar Patch!
Hahaha! Who is that in the messages at the end of "On My Way"?!!! It just gets better and better as the messages go! I got a good laugh out of that one. So when are you guys going to be in Minneapolis or Menomonie again? You put on a great show and I would love to come see you again. Keep Jammin!
