Nucleus Roots

About

Nucleus Roots isn't just a band; it's a Mancunian institution, a bedrock of the UK roots reggae scene for over two decades. Their sound, a potent blend of conscious lyrics and weighty, dub-infused rhythms, echoes the spirit of the Jamaican pioneers while forging its own distinctly British identity. From the early days honing their craft in Manchester's sound system culture to headlining festivals across Europe, Nucleus Roots has consistently delivered a message of unity and resistance. Their music pulls from a deep well of influences: from the foundation sounds of Burning Spear and Aswad to the contemporary edge of UK dubstep, creating a sonic tapestry that is both timeless and urgent. Key to their success has been a relentless touring schedule and a dedication to authentic live performance, building a loyal following that transcends generations. Highlights include collaborations with legends like Earl Sixteen and an impressive discography featuring albums like "Release the Chains" and "Hear I Say." Always evolving, Nucleus Roots continues to push the boundaries of roots reggae, proving that the genre's message is as relevant today as ever. Recently, they continue to perform, bringing their powerful live show to receptive audiences.
