"Following up the critically acclaimed Into the Dojo, which spent five weeks at number one, was never going to be easy for The Black Seeds, but the boys from Wellington have well and truly done it with solid ground, pure rhythm and energy blasts from the word go’’
-Paula Yeoman, The Herald – August, 08
“ …Just Smashhits! - The Black Seeds bring their reggae and funk outputs really to the point”
- Radio Eins (Radio One) Germany, August 08
"…Its good, very good …. seriously dipped in soul and funk…this record has so much groove….incredibly fresh…it really really does work’’
- Manu Taylor, National Radio, August, 08
“Yes, you can definitely dance to this record. You won’t be bored with this release!”

"Infectious….Solid Ground arrives like the first wave of summer….’’
- 4 Stars, Rave Magazine, Australia
"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 European tour in the summer 2007.
In 2008 The Black Seeds released their highly anticipated 4th studio album 'Solid Ground' throughout NZ, Europe & Australia, followed by sellout NZ & Australian tours, and two successful european tours, which included standout performances at festivals such as Roskilde, The Lovebox Weekender, Garrance, Summerjam, and many more.

hey fellas its josh who u met at southbound in west oz a couple of years back, just thought id drop in a quick message, im in nz ofr another week and wondering if you guys are playn anywhere around wellies before the 7th of july before i fly out. drop us a quick line let me know, chur.
It is extremely vital that ya'll come to the states. My friend and I are huge fans, would love to see u. IT doesn't matter where ya'll go, we will see you, ya'll just have to come to the states! PLEASE!
Ever since i was a youth, I have always been searching for the truth, But having been told so many lies, Life like good music never dies, So the question is posed, Only who in Heaven knows, why is a man respected when he is dead ? Should'nt that respect be paid to the living INSTEAD.
Alive a man is sufferer of no mean order, But dead he has an estate to the value of a Million and over, I must die one day, You'll all hear people say, Yet praying for Salvation, In corrupted meditation, Storing up wealth, ignoring their health, But, a tree is known by its fruits, There is no life in lies, It's all in the truth.
