Some quotes from notable publications: “From the time you put in their debut CD, Natty Soldier in your machine and press play, you are instantly hit with a thunderous nyabingi and militant drum set, booming bass line, rock steady guitar, hypnotizing keyboards, and a hard core lyrical sermon, which draws you in and transports you on an unforgettable musical journey that fuels the mind, body, and spirit.” (The Mass Media, February 2005), "VIBEWISE provides a one-two punch, blending the lilting melodies of roots rock reggae with the drive and energy of today's dancehall rhythms...VIBEWISE not only performs strictly original music, but they masterfully carve a signature sound where most bands fall painfully short." (The Bay State Banner, March 2000), “VIBEWISE performs their material with sincerity and enthusiasm…the sound was infectious, everyone in the crowd was moving.” (The Boston Globe, November 1999), “VIBEWISE is unlike any other Boston-based reggae band. The six-piece band plays only original compositions and features one of the wickedest drum and bass duos in New England Reggae.” (BigUpRadio.com),“”Creole Woman” is not only a great track live, it is blazed into my dome as the best track on the album. The rest of the album bangs too…this crew is a master of effects. Dig the bone crushing tracks as well as the slow tracks. I mean it. Listen to VIBEWISE.” (HM, Haters Magazine), The manager of the Original House of Blues once said that he "had never seen as many people dancing at any show, including major artists, as he did at one of Vibewise's" many sold out shows at the Old house Of Blues.div style="position:absolute;right:0px;top:0px;"Create or get your
