    My introduction to this band was Oh What a Joy of 1980 ....But their debut release Trench town Mix up blew me away in my schooldays along with my classmates.

    They are still touring today with Droop Lion as their singer. And he is a great performer, I have some video from the show I DJied at. So, they are still spreading the message.

      Yes! Thank you for adding that. I was going to say the same thing... and he is still at it, too! Dropping new albums, touring and playing Seattle regularly. What a great career - including The Defenders, his first Seattle band.
      I was in 9th grade when I got to see the Defenders open for Culture, who I had never heard of until that night, at the Moore Theater.
      Thanks for all the great reggae documentaries RAS!
