Who is Mangoseed

 

Hailing from the cultural and creative melting pot that is England’s capital city, Mangoseed comprise four musicians of Trinidadian, Jamaican, Australian and Irish descent. Perhaps no surprise then, that this multinational troupe produce an enthralling fusion of global sounds, mashing up ska and soca, jungle and funk, rock and punk, all of it high-energy and unfailingly danceable.

EMPIRE

by Mangoseed

Empire

Mangoseed's thundering new single. This drum and bass infused mountain of a song aims at the walls of the old empire and sees them come crashing down. It's big brave and gets you on your feet. It’s the band at the height of their powers.

MUSIC

by Mangoseed

The album kicks off with “Lioness,” which has awesome punk-like, reggae-infused, rock that you simply can’t help but groove along with. The first single off of the album titled “Brix-tone” is a commentary on the 1981 Brixton Riots in South London and is a dub heavy track, which projects their Jamaican roots and influence and their powerful lyrics. “I Shoot My Friends” is a guitar-dominant piece, as well as “Bali Men Interrupted,” and “Interruption.” A noteworthy, soothing and calming song on the rock-reggae band’s first record is “This Life,” which opens with smooth guitar and drum beats, and sets a nice relaxed groove.

Overall, this is a well-produced collection of songs that go through dub, rock, funk, and the combination of these styles. Mangoseed put every bit of their passion into the album and it shows and commands that you move along with it.
