STANDING GIG IN THE WALKER THEATRE
The Hempolics are out to put those organic rootsy vibes back into music; with their fat radio friendly hooks, bumping soundsystem bass and a wanderlusty, ineffably real sound of their own...
With years of recording top international talent, enigmatic leader Grippa Laybourne has been carefully honing his own masterpiece and selecting a gang armed and dangerous enough to execute it. The Hempolics caused an instant stir with their single Serious, which hit number one in the UK Reggae charts and was playlisted on Massive Attack's BBC takeover.
Recording underground style throughout the bedrooms and home studios of the band, The Hempolics have created an infectious mash-up of Reggae, Electro, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rock and Pop. Although the weather out might be dull London-side, it's strictly sunshine vibes.
These are tunes that people will be bopping to across festivals, clubs and car journeys for years to come!
"Best new reggae band on the planet" Chris Hawkins, BBC6
"And through the haze there shone a white light, and from that light played sweet sweet music...and to that music...we got high. Much love to the Hemps" Paolo Nutini
"The Hempolics are the best band in the UK - but nobody knows it yet..." Maxi Jazz (Faithless)
