No matter what the genre, everything has it's ‘back in the day' contingent. The Fyah bunch finds their roots somewhere back in the 70s with the reggae bands that weren't getting the budgetary love from Chris Blackwell but were kept in the Island fold anyway. There were a lot of bands back then that were talented and the homespun edge to their sound actually made them more endearing because it sounded like they were keeping it real. Raging Fyah falls right in that time and vibe. This set is being reissued as they capitalize on some stateside momentum that should find everyone getting infected with their own brand of irie that uplifts in several ways---and keeps the party going. They sound a lot like the kind of group white kids would like to go see but might be too afraid to venture out to. Check it out.
