Open your mind, free your soul, and relieve some stress with Offbeat Revolution‘s, All Around. A creative and intuitive ska-reggae compilation, that rocks the positive places of human spirit. Blending a jazzy saxophone and melodic keyboard into a laid back dub, OBR’s vibes flow into any music collection.

Tracked, mixed and mastered at What!? Studios in Ft. Collins, OBR brings upbeat and optimistic energy in body moving songs, “Interrupted Dream,” “Starting to Show,” and “Ride It.” Forget all your worries with the smooth sounds of, “All Around.” “I’m Alright” superbly articulates the banalities of schedules, and choosing to smile at increasing responsibility.

All Around‘s island vibes are fresh, loose and fun. The life lessons and social message throughout the songs parallel the groovy beats perfectly. It is no small wonder OBR has shared the stage with the likes of: the Skatalites, Tomorrows Bad Seeds, Pacific Dub, 40oz. to Freedom, Ballyhoo and the Supervillians.
