History

The band began in 2004 as a three-piece act formed by Patu Colbert and his sons Shaun and Jimmy. Five other members joined the band over the next five years as the original members felt they needed more musicians to produce the sound they wanted.

Their first album, Jah Rydem, was released in 2008. It was produced by Wiremu Karaitiana and recorded at York Street Studio in Auckland. with positive reviews. In 2011, The Covers Album was released in New Zealand by producer Hayden Taylor of Yorkstreet Recording Studios and mastered by Chris Winchcombe.

The band's second album, Relax, was released in 2012. A new feel and direction for the summer reggae sounds like "Sunshine", written by saxophonist Chris Pierce and "Unite" cowritten by female vocalist Kalani Marsters sung by Neihana Mackey Harrison. The Relax album was produced and mastered by band founder Patu Colbert and producer Hayden Taylor at Yorkstreet Recording Studios in Auckland.
