All Rebel Rockers

All Rebel Rockers Back in the day, I used to think of Spearhead as more of a hip-hop act with other musical vibes thrown in for good measure. But more recently, Spearhead seems to have become a reggae act with other vibes thrown in. Me personally, I love the direction that Michael Franti has taken the group. The reggae outfit seems to fit better.
'All Rebel Rockers' continues in his recent success of awesome albums. I absolutely loved 'Everyone Deserves Music', as well as 'Yell Fire'. I wouldn't say 'All Rebel Rockers' is as good as those two, but it's definitely in the ballpark.
Michael Franti always seems to have a good mixture between political activism and a positive human outlook. He comes off like as a lovable mix between a militant and a hippie. Sort of a 2008 version of Bob Marley if he were still alive and making music.
The music, as always, is uplifting, danceable, head-nod-able, and always has good choruses for you to sing along to. Spearhead is a great band, one of my favorites, and yet they're definitely under the radar. I would definitely recommend this album. Plus, it's better than just about anything else new that you could be buying.
