John Brown's Body is an eight-person modern reggae group. As of January 2006, they have released five studio albums and toured across the U.S. for nine years. Their music has been described by the New York Daily News as "more Massive Attack than Marley", and "reverant and revolutionary at the same time", a nod to their futuristic take on reggae music and their ability to put a unique twist on this music. The group has been called America's best and most original reggae band, and continues to play almost exclusively original material.
