The Black Seeds ADD
"Following up the critically acclaimed Into the Dojo, which spent five weeks at number one, was never going to be easy …. but the boys from Wellington have well and truly done it with solid ground, pure rhythm and energy blasts from the word go’’

"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’
