Aside for being from Virginia, Transmitters are not your typical reggae band. Since the band's inception, each member has found themselves firmly rooted in rare, rock-steady B-sides, giving the band a sound to set them apart from almost every reggae band present on the scene today.

While their overall sonic mission is that of soul, feel, and character, the various musical backgrounds of each member add a new flavor to an older framework. With two members being trained in Jazz, two members being former punk-rockers, and one member being the token Rastafarian, the bands collective meeting seemed to be one that a) may never have happened and b) certainly would not have yielded an old-school, rock steady band. Against all odds, this is exactly what ensued. With no initial expectations of what was to come, Transmitters have found themselves to be both instrumentally and vocally captivating as a unit. While their motto is "Don't replace the old with the new", their old-school sound still incorporates elements of dub and dance hall which are often intermingled with three and four part harmonies, making their sound mesmerizing, danceable and perfect for the festival atmosphere. Perhaps an even stronger attribute than their musicality is their care free attitude along with each members personal desire to keep it light and simply have fun playing music together.

Transmitters have played up and down the east coast and their following grows with every performance. Recently, nationally known Keller Williams has incorporated the Transmitters talents and sounds as one of his backing bands. They have also played with such artists as: SOJA, Kevin Kinsella (John Brown’s Body.) and Jah Works.
