Surrender



Nine-piece Brighton/London based band, Resonators, have firmly established themselves on the dub reggae scene, finding a unique and distinct sound. Rooted in 60/70s reggae, Resonators embrace diverse influences, making their music relevant in todays Bass Music culture and reminding us of reggae’s uplifting influence on the dance floor. 'Brighton institution Resonators stand out from the current glut of tame British rootsy reggae bands… well worth checking out' LostatEminor.com Inspired by the meditative quality and universal appeal of Jamaican roots music the band radiate a playful and unified stage presence. The two lead singers Kassia Zermon and Faye Houston wipe away the notion of the big-ego front man, and the balance is set. Following its release in 2010, Resonators’ eponymous debut album gained worldwide and national radio support on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and Kiss FM from the likes of Mark Lamarr, David Rodigan and Craig Charles. “…elements are truly beautiful and haunting. In these days of homogenised, digital recordings lacking in any individual sound or identity it is most encouraging to hear something so truly original… most refreshing”.
