The Prizefighters will be there, bringing their Minnesota-bred hard-hitting rough and tough reggae, rocksteady and ska tunes.  The band has been supporting their latest CD Follow My Sound.  Be sure to be on the lookout for their special-edition vinyl LP on Jump Up Records in the Fall.

Dred I Dread are one of the most diverse reggae bands in the Twin Cities, including artists from Jamaica, New Orleans, Minnesota, Turkey, and Mexico.  The band is hard at work on their much anticipated album due out in 2012.

The Dropsteppers have been making a name for themselves in the American reggae and ska scene with their smooth soulful vocals and chugging rhythms.  Look for them on tour in the Midwest this Fall in support of their upcoming 7-inch split on Megalith Records.

Stop Drop are a new folk-punk band from the Twin Cities, featuring members of the MNSKA band 2 Tone Runts.  This show is their official EP release show, so be sure to pick up their new music!
