***********************

‘There’s something instantly catching about this sun-soaked album that will have you coming back again and again!’ ****

- IDJ Magazine

‘Feel good, reggified, soulkissed grooves…..The Black Seeds are worthy of attention’

Mo Soul Magazine

‘There’s no beating the old fashioned lure of a band who have built up a mighty following through sweaty, hard gigging performances. This applies to the supremely danceable New Zealand 8-piece The Black Seeds whose record sales attest to their loyal fan base… with charismatic vocalist Barnaby Weir at the helm there’s an immediate appeal to their fresh pacific grooves… The Black Seeds’ tunes are packed with funk, reggae, dub, and good time soul’

The Metro, London – July 26 2007


***********************

ABOUT THE BAND

Hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, The Black Seeds fuse dub, funk, and soul, with a classic reggae base. After forming in 1997, The Black Seeds have a gold album, two double-platinum selling albums, and a masterful 8-piece live show regarded as one of the finest in New Zealand.

After signing record deals with European labels Sonar Kollectiv and Rough Trade Netherlands in 2007, The Black Seeds successfully released their 3rd album Into the Dojo in Europe in July 07 to critical acclaim and strong airplay, followed by their third and most successful European tour in the summer 2007.

In 2008, The Black Seeds will release their highly anticipated 4th studio album through NZ, Europe, Australia and the U.S. The band will once again return to Europe in June – August, 08.

More details to be announced in the near future. For more information about the band check out www.theblackseeds.com

"Where are we to look for our survival, for the answers to the questions which have never before been posed? We must look, first, to the Almighty God who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason. We must put our faith in him, that he will not desert us or permit us to destroy humanity which he created in his image. We must look into ourselves, into the depths of our soul. We must become something we have never been, and for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us. We must become bigger than we have been, more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations, but to our fellow men within the human community."
