InfluencesWe are influenced by everything around and everything experienced. RESONATION are based in West Yorkshire, in the UK. originally starting out as a 3 piece live band, the sound expanding with the inclusion of keyboards and a lead guitarist. The NME has described the band as a "stunning new reggae band - with a lyrical consciousness that is all their own" and they had a top 20 hit in the national UK ROOTS UNSIGNED CHART. They are currently working on their own self produced album which will be released on the GECKO RECKORDINGS label. Along the way they have played support acts for Zion Train, Misty In Roots, Surreal Madrid, Freestylers, Gabbidon, Homegrown, Urban Species and The Roots. MOJO UNSIGNED GUIDE (UK) "Mixing Reggae with a strong edge this band have a sound and an energy all of their own. They will be one to watch." THE EVENING POST (UK) "Quite simply a great live act - given time they will be pushing reggae back up where it belongs." METRO LIVE MUSIC REVIEWS (UK) "Watch out - this band are about to fly!" POPPERMOST (UK) "Catchy songs that ebb and flow like the tide" MUSIC WEEK MAGAZINE (UK) "quietly pricking the ears of the international music community with their rootsy bluesy reggae vibes....look out!" DJ MAGAZINE (UK) should be on everyones playlist, period!.....Love it!" (4.5/5) BLUES AND SOUL (UK) "It's not often that a debut artist album grips me on first listening but the organic vibe, inspired songwriting and impeccable production of this album is a jaw-dropping phenomenon" (5/5) M8 MAGAZINE (UK) "A bit of an undiscovered gem, this album has a glut of deep rootsy grooves and rhythm-driven songs to suit many different moods..........check this out for your more laid back gatherings and some essential summer listening." (M7/M8) COSMIK DEBRIS (US) "the future of reggae .......... you can hear why they are an essential live experience...." ALT.CULTURE.GUIDE (US) "Resonation are strong antidote to the bland, lifeless music you'll hear on the radio, an energetic blend of heart and soul that will have you shuffling your feet in spite of your bad self" STYLUS (US) Every song in this collection has a nice clean sound that is distinct and different from anything else on the market. Definitely the hottest reggae album in quite some time" LIVE REVIEW OF SCARBOROUGH BEACH FESTIVAL 2007 BY THE BBC 'LIVE AND UNSIGNED' (UK) "Resonation are not afraid to experiment in what they do. They are a concoction of reggae, ska, blues and rock. On this evidence you can tell why they’ve played in Europe, played Glastonbury and been praised by magazines worldwide. The West Yorkshire group are the most unique band of the weekend for me, which is why I liked them so much."
Sounds LikeReggae influences include Bob Marley, Basil Gabbidon, Burning Spear, Jacob Miller, Bunny Wailer, Horace Andy, and Lucky Dube. Also influenced by artists such as The Stone Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Paul Weller, The Doors, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc.

   About Resonation
Resonation have been best described as a bluesy wah wah drenched funky rocking Reggae band. We have a 5 piece line up and our full debut album is due for release in October 2009 through independent label 'Planet Gecko Reckords' and available to download universally through Reggae distribution giants 'Zojak Worlwide'. We have played all over the UK including The Jug of Ale in Birmingham, The Trades Club in Hebden, The Brook in Southampton and most of the popular northern music venues. We have also proven to be very popular at summer festivals having played at various events including a slot on the Glastonbury Glade stage (as an entry in their 'New Talent' competition), Birminghams Artsfest, Huddstock and WOYD (all in 2008), and the highlight of 2009 festival tour was a slot at Kendal Calling alongside The Streets and The Zutons. On our travels we have supported a number of established headline roots acts such as Dreadzone, Zion Train, and Gabbidon and are keen to continue getting crowds rocking to our original reggae beat.
