Coral Thief- Colorado Roots
by Tim Wenger
Coral Thief may not be around Colorado much these days, but they are reppin’ our state pretty hard around the country. Their new record Colorado Roots dropped in December and should ensure the band continued fuel for their touring fire for the foreseeable future. Mixing traditional reggae with elements of dub and the occasional ska-punk riff, the record is just about the perfect soundtrack for the modern Colorado lifestyle.
“Falling Down Like Rain” stuck out as the strongest track on the record as a danceable but still emotionally provocative tune, representative of the vibe that reggae music has always appeared to be conveying. The album’s first single “Colorado Roots” goes as proof that they still consider CO home despite their constant time outside its borders- the music video for the song, filmed in Crested Butte, goes to second that. Coral Thief has been standing tall as the leaders of the reggae-rock movement in Colorado, and this album is proof of why.
