Out of the 100+ reggae bands currently active in NZ, not one of them has moved up the ranks faster than Wellington band Tomorrow People. From their humble garage to an award winning debut album, the band has gone from strength to strength and showing no signs of slowing down.
A studio project turned live stage show, the 7-piece band are purveyors of what they describe as ‘sunshine reggae’. Focused on providing a mid-tempo sound that, while clearly reggae-centric, adds touches of dancehall ragga to its colour. It is a sound built around strong vocals, soothing harmonies, catchy hooks, aggressive ragga raps, and feel good riddims (rhythms).
Bass And Bassinets debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 23 November 2015. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for five weeks with a highest position of #7. There are four albums by Tomorrow People in the Top 40 Albums with one reaching Number One.
