WERS 88.9 fm Pressure Cooker LMW

The eight members of Pressure Cooker performed live during Rockers on Thursday night, and they brought with them the warm and soulful sounds of their unique brand of reggae music.

A mix of ska, rock steady and reggae, the band say they try to stick to the roots of the music they love so much. The technique seems to be working, as the group has been together for 11 years now. The brass and woodwinds style is different than most reggae acts and is much more prominent. The set included three tracks: “Misunderstanding,” the more pop-oriented “One Kind of Love” and the title track off their album What She Wants.

The reggae music scene may not be as readily accessible as other forms of music, but fans of the genre can see Pressure Cooker perform live at the House of Blues on April 25th. Or you can do as Pressure Cooker suggest: “Look in newspapers, look for shows…Google reggae music in Boston.”
