Reggae + Rock doesn’t have to equal phony Jamaican accents, clichéd weed songs and uninspired Bob Marley bites. For THE COOL AND DEADLY, adding to the punky reggae legacy of The Clash and the Bad Brains means pouring influences as far afield as rockabilly, metal, Latin and Cape Verdean Creole music into a fuzzed-out sound that’s not always reggae and not always rock, but invariably ruff and tuff.
