The Movement

There is a very special, slightly inexplicable relationship between reggae rock and Southern California culture; to be honest, it’s derived directly from Sublime’s success. That’s not to say that the genre was specific only to California, as The Movement is originally from South Carolina, but it does explain why I have an affinity to the band and the music that they make.

Their shows are a lot of fun to watch. With the band already on stage and starting the first song, “Mexico”, they have a laid-back demeanor but also are filled with a lot of energy resulting in a lot of jumping in place. For the entire set, you can see how much fun they are having just by the way they let the music take over, making them move all around the stage as they play their instruments. Everyone in the crowd has just as much fun, mainly because you can’t stop yourself from head bobbing or jumping up and down to the music. They are really engaging with the crowd as well, getting them to wave their arms, or to move along with them. It is really like watching getting to watch a giant jam session with a ton of people instead of a staged show.

Incredible show doesn’t even cover it! Awesome venue, awesome people, and the band so so down to earth. My boyfriend and I traveled from Montana to Denver to see (his favorite band!) The Movement and Pepper ON HIS BIRTHDAY (leap year to boot!) and it couldn’t have been better. Fans for life

Amazing show the entire lineup was awesome! The Movement had amazing energy from their first song until the end, played all of my favorites. Can’t wait to see them again at Reggae Rise Up.

The Movement played a mix of classics and songs off their brand new album GOLDEN! Such a diverse sound. Great band to see live! They played for almost 2 hours. Loved every minute of it
