Kingston City by New Kingston
New Kingston was one of the first bands to combine the old and new worlds of reggae. Being Jamaican by birth and growing up around the New York City scene, where their father (and band bassist) Courtney Panton Sr. played sessions and live shows, they were exposed to the Jamaican-facing aspects of the genre, its roots and history, and its ever-changing current styles. But the three brothers in New Kingston (Courtney Jr., Stephen, and Tahir) also witnessed the boom in American reggae first hand, and utilized the ways US bands have pushed the genre: constant touring, great live shows, and social networking. KINGSTON CITY was the band’s third full-length (and first on Easy Star Records). It features 12 original songs, including collaborations with Tribal Seeds, Hawaiian singer/songwriter Kimie Miner, The Wailing Souls, Sister Carol, and the late, great Sugar Minott.
