Who said the American roots reggae scene wasn't worth the trip? Groundation, the band that has won over all roots fans with their reggae sprinkled with jazz and spiced up by a horn section, are announcing the release of their new album in October 2004, along with a first European tour. The six Californians will play stages in France, Germany, Switzerland and the Benelux countries in November and December 2004.
Also worth noting is the reissue last July of their first two albums: Tribute To The Roots (1998) and Young Tree (1999), on Nocturne.
