reggae band that delivers late 70s and early 80s-style Jamaican reggae
originals; mixed with folk, soul, calypso, afrobeat and hip-hop influences.

in Toronto and fronted by vocalist King Selah and drummer Jahlin Edwards with
guitarists Terell Jarvis & Jay Cleary. bassist Jo John and keyboardists
Dezi Fingazz & Sam Weller rounding out the modern incarnation of The Gang.

hotspot for artists from the Toronto's burgeoning Rastafarian and reggae
community from the late 80’s until the mid-90’s.
After a brief hiatus the band re-energized in 2004 with a revamped
line-up, touring relentlessly in clubs & festivals, building a strong
grassroots following across Canada.
