A wicked new band, Well Charged, is stirring up a buzz in promotion of their recent album release, “Rukkus”. Veteran vocalist and pioneer of reggae music, Winston Cole began forming the band after the Jamaican national met Canadian engineer-producer/bassist Jake Janzen. The duo was later joined by some of the freshest talent available to fuse a “Well Charged” combination of band members with diverse musical backgrounds and influences, including innovative guitar player/vocalist Mikey ‘Dread’ Barrett, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist/producer Curaloz MD, and show drummer Ryan Long. Well Charged spreads nice vibes and drives the upbeat with soulful, original, high-energy music influenced by the World-beat culture. The band’s ‘New Reggae for the New Millennium’ is a fusion of many different musical styles such as: Roots, Raucous, Rock-steady; Ska, Calypso, Dub, Funk, Soul, Rock, Pop, and World-beat. The passion and uniqueness of Bob Marley & the Wailers, Burning Spear, Dennis Brown, James Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Marvin Gaye, and Toots & the Maytals. Well Charged produces, performs records all its own catchy, original material, including releases like “I Love The Way You Walk” (2000), and latest full length CD release, “Rukkus” (2002). “Their first album is titled Rukkus, and is a brilliant debut.” (Andrew Munoz, The Ontarion News) Read more at www.wellcharged.com
